You are probably very familiar with the startup programs function of Windows.
Note: this tutorial should work for any version of Windows, including Windows Server.
WinPatrol makes this process very easy.
After selecting this option for all the target applications, hit the Delayed Start tab.
Now set the delay time and any respective parameters.
Since WinPatrol initiates the launch commands, the delay time is respective to when it opens.
Anyone can do this as it is very easy to setup and requires no batch programming knowledge.
When the listing of programs appear, create a new text file named “StartupOrder.bat”.
Edit the StartupOrder.bat file in Notepad to add the delay time and applications you want to launch.
For this task, we will need the use of two batch commands: TIMEOUT and START.
The use of the TIMEOUT command is to specify the delay.
