Publisher's description of Startup Faster

From URSoft:

Startup Faster 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 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.

Editor's review of Startup Faster

• 4.0 stars

• "Speedier system starts"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Startup Faster 3.0

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.

  "Startup Optimizer is better."

  by Zane77 on March 23, 2009

  Pros: The interface is all that I like.

  Cons: Launching startup programs one at a time slows down boot up and boot down time. Startup Optimizer is a better choice because I can disable startup programs and my computer starts up and shuts down faster.

  "Quick Startup suits me better"

  by psaxelby on February 5, 2009

  Pros: Didn't really find any - It sort of does what it says, in that it will load up the programs one after the other.

  Cons: PC took longer to load under the watchfull eye of 'Startup Faster 3'. One app in particular refused to complete loading for ages & I always had to manually hurry it up.

  Summary: Tried several times to get it to do what it says, deleted it after a day.
