Whether you run Windows XP, Vista, or 7, you might be the culprit of a slow boot or delay in Windows. This may be due to the combination of many things, such as: low amount of RAM; lots of startup programs; low capacity left of hard drive space; and slow processor.
You may try to isolate the issue or deal with fixing the possible causes listed below. Or you can cheat a littlle bit by using the freebie, Startup Delayer. This program literally delays startup programs until after the PC fully boots. The end result provides a faster Windows startup. Startup Delayer allows you to select which programs you’d like to delay, and for what amount of time to delay.
Startup Delayer is a great utility for Palm, Blackberry, iTunes, and other programs that sync up with your phone, iPod, and other handhelds that require file sharing. Why not delay your iTunes startup or Blackberry redirector software for 5 minutes to allow your computer to fully boot first? Your programs will still work, and at the same time will receive better performance by patiently waiting for Windows to finish its boot process. You should always leave your anti-virus software to launch at startup, but the other programs may be delayed to your liking.
