Reviewed by: CNET Staff
We like the functionality of this program, which gives you a fine degree of control over the applications that launch at Windows start-up. You can choose which ones start, change the start-up sequence (useful for letting smaller programs launch before the big, slower applications), and set delays between application launches. Though Startup Faster 2004 may cut down your start-up time, the gain isn't dramatic. In our tests, Windows took 10 percent less time to start up. More tinkering may produce better gains and a lot will depend on how many programs you have set to automatically launch. The interface is clear. We like the help tips that appear when you mouse over elements of the interface, and it's convenient to be able to access the properties of a start-up item by right-clicking. If your system launches multiple applications at start-up, this program will help you fine-tune it and may gain you some boot-up speed.Publisher's description
From URSoft :Startup Faster 2004 makes your computer boot faster by launching your start-up applications one at a time rather than attempting to launch them all at once. As you may know, sometimes there are more than 30 programs launched by Windows at the same time, which causes Windows to boot up very slowly. With Startup Faster 2004 you can fully control how quickly programs launch and how they launch. It also includes a start-up manager, so you can take full control of the start-up programs and enable, disable, or permanently delete them.
Version 2.4.8 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Startup Faster 2004 2.4.8
"my favorite startup organizer"
Pros: now that the delay can beset up in tenths of a second, this is now the best startup program for smoothest starts. Clearly delaying starts are the best feature. especially the ones that chug along, slowing down others. (like spysweeper) These can be placed in the back speeding up others without obstructing the smaller, quicker programs
Cons: I bought this with the "Your Uninstaller" Uninstaller program. THE ABSOLUTE BEST UNINSTALLER. So I got a little price break. THese guys must be sniffing Glue to be charging 29.95 for a startup program. Granted it's good, but..... THey also offer this Horrendous "POPUP stopper" as a gift to ease the pain of the 30.00 theft. If it were not for the uninstaller purchased with this I wouldnot have bought this. But again that said, Startupfaster's newest program is great
