Although it may seem to be a one-trick application, Hyper Start effectively helps users speed up their boot time using startup configurations.

The program has a dull, yet simply designed interface that anyone can easily put to work even without a help guide. With this program, users gain easy access to all startup programs to effortlessly disable, enable, add, or delete any of them. You also can set CPU usage percentage to block programs from running until usage is low. Hyper Start can detect programs that attempt to run at system startup, and prompts users whether to allow them.

With its sound functionality and minimum system resources consumption, users of all levels surely can appreciate this freeware.

Nothing starts up
GerryFrSeptember 13, 2008
Pros
The interface is easy to use and has a nice assortment of options. You can set startup order, program delay, and CPU usage delay for any startup program. I am using Win Vista.
Cons
The lack of any instructions makes the use of this software harder than it should be. I was unable to get any program to start up. I may have been something wrong but without instructions, I would not know.
Summary
I would use this program if I could get any programs it controlled to start up. I tried every combination of startup configurations i could find to get the controlled startup programs to run, but with no success. The programs controlled by this program disappeared from the startup program list but I fail to see how this program get started. I tried another startup control program and it put a startup controller program in the list of startup files. I tried starting the program up after boot was completed, but still no program started up.

Great for stopping adware
JohnRamonSeptember 24, 2006
Pros
It took a while to install on my system (I didn't have .NET 2.0). It definitely has some cool options for controlling startup programs. But the fact that it can catch adware on the fly makes it a must.
Cons
Install can take a while.
Summary

Developer's Description

Minimize launching of unnecessary startup programs.

Now you can minimize the time that it takes to start your PC. Hyper Start delays launching non-essential startup programs until CPU usage is low. You may also fine tune how and when each startup program is launched. Hyper Start also alerts you whenever a program requests to run at system startup, thereby preventing spyware and adware from infecting your PC.
