CNET editors' review

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 2.5 is a bug fixing release.

    Version: Startup Faster 2004 2.5

    "BUYER BEWARE TOUGH TO UNINSTALL"

    by Superknown on May 13, 2006

    Pros: This is an update from my first review. I blew this review and got an update But.........

    Cons: The huge problem that I did not know of initially which bro0ught this down to 1star. I can not figure how to get this off my PC Website says it abides by the "Uninstaller Guidlines" Maybe so but he problem is that they put Hidden files in the startup Folders (GUIDLINES OR NOT THIS FOLDER DOES NOT BELONG HERE) when I went to try another product 95% of start programs are hard to find. Most will be stuck with manually going into REG or re downloading. But standard uninstall does not bring you to a standard situation DO NOT BUY
