I never could get startup delayer to work properly, programs that should start minimized didnt, splash screens that id got rid of returned, i got rid of it in a hurry, now using the chameleon startup manager and it works really well, for me, in this case,  you gets whats you pays for, i also had trouble with their media player xion, and uninstalling that was a long term hassle for the novice. It left all sorts of things in registry so it kept appearing in context menus and so on, grrrrr

This was some time ago, well last year, so it could be much better now, and others seem to have no trouble so at the price its sure worth a try  ;)

Looking forward to hear more (when less buggy)!  :up:-Curt (June 28, 2007, 09:21 AM)

Actually, i updated and tested it a lot of times and now i think it works pretty fine. It's my first script so it could certainly be better but at least there won't be any bad surprise. Any feedback is welcome :)

The only thing i need to do now is to disable the script when there is no parent folder. It doesn't cause any harm, it just selects a random file as the script is looking for a folder that doesn't exist.

I like the ideas of a startup manager where you can simply designate the startup sequence - i.e. without having to say: delay this by 20 seconds - I have no idea how long individual apps need to start so I'm not going to dictate to them!

Does Chameleon offer that possibility ?
just did a quick search found this thread where the author seems to say it can - it does sound good anyways  :)
