Delayed Cuts 1.3.2.1
MilesAhead:
Delayed Cuts 1.3.2.1 Delayed Cuts is a simple ListView utility for creating a list of shortcuts to be run delayed at logon. Shortcuts are added via drag and drop. The delay range is 10 to 600 seconds. All delays are timed from the launch of DelayedLoad.exe which runs the shortcuts. When you create a list, a shortcut to DelayedLoad is created in the StartUp Folder if it doesn't already exist.
I designed this utility to only accept shortcuts because that ensures you may pass all needed information to the launching program, such as command line arguments, working directory, start minimized etc..
The shortcuts are simply launched in a loop using ShellExecute() system call.
By default the "Toast" splash screen slides up near the system tray to show a countdown, icon and shortcut name next in line to load. The Toast feature is enabled by default. It may be disabled via .ini file option. UseToast=True or UseToast=1 enables. Any other value disables it. If Toast is disabled, the info is shown in the Tray Icon Tooltip during mouse hover.
DelayedLoad.ini is created in the same folder as DelayedLoad.exe the first time DelayedLoad closes.
One advantage to delay loading via an app that has a visible Tray Icon, you can cancel the loading of the remaining programs just by quitting DelayedLoad via the tray icon menu.

Delayed Cuts 1.0.0.8 Made several improvements. In the ListView now you can click on the Delay column for an entry and press F2 to edit the delay. Also ini file has options to move the Toast Splash display away from the System Tray in case another program is using it at the same time. See DelayedCuts About Dialog for settings.

Delayed Cuts 1.1.0.0 Added Skip Next Load to DelayedLoad Tray Menu. If skip is used, the elapsed time will be updated to the delay of the item that was skipped, then the next items, if there are any remaining, will be processed.

Delayed Cuts 1.1.0.1 When dropping shortcuts on ListView the suggested delay takes the current maximum(if any) into account. Basically if it's the first, 10 seconds is suggested. Otherwise 10 seconds is added to the current maximum.
This makes it possible to drag several shortcuts and just hit Enter for each to accept the suggested delays.

Delayed Cuts 1.1.0.2 Recompiled with updated include files. DelayedLoad fixed Toast display.
