My favorite software! What's yours?
Grorgy:
while i havent actually tried it there is the option to start a program after another, and to give a delay before starting it, soooo i dont know about smart but it will do as its told :)
Grorgy:
Ok, i tested it on my laptop and i cant get the start after part of it to work, it keeps them in the list saying they are waiting for the condition to be met, of course i could easily be doing something wrong here, even tho it seems pretty straight forward :huh:
Curt:
It is only "on paper" you can change the starting order without any delays. In practice they will still start in a bunch / all together at the same time, won't they. So I don't expect that to change anything, or even be smart, as you so elegant put it.
Chameleon will alter the starting order if you want it - with specified delays. The advantage is that 1) I can have Webshots start before EartWatcher which again will start before Desktop Icon Toy (with the delays carefully adjusted); all giving a fancy animation on the desktop during startup. And 2) I can defrag before auto-backup and 3) I can have the MASH figure Becky jump up and whistle for me, to tell that Outlook has performed the send/receive routine and my PC is ready to go.
But again; I can do all that with the free Startup Delayer too.
So other than because of any problems caused by mis-matching:
WHY choose Chameleon over the free Startup Delayer? :tellme:
Grorgy:
I chose it because the free startup delayer DID NOT WORK for me, if it had i wouldnt have got another one.

Grorgy; I just noticed your local time zone from your profile: are you not home in Australia at the moment, or do you really get up that early - or maybe didn't get to bed last night? :o

Sorry to hear the free Startup Delayer wouldn't work for you.
Are you driving XP or..? :tellme:
