Delay Run Description

The Delay Run application was designed to be a small program that will delay the startup of programs. How could this be helpful? I've found that sometimes I want to have some programs loaded in memory, but I don't want them to be executed right away. Usually one wants to have control of the computer as soon as possible without having to wait for a dozen of little utilities to be loaded first. It is required that the file delayrun.ini is in the same folder as the main executable. I recommend to copy both files (delayrun.exe and delayrun.ini) to your windows directory (usually c:windows or c:winnt) The format of the file is simple, but strict: The first line indicates the number of seconds the program must wait before launching programs. After the first line, each program must be specified in a group of 3 lines: Program_file Program_path Parameters For example, a valid delayrun.ini file is 60 seconds before launching programs c:program filesmyprog.exe program 1 (filename) c: program 1 (path) program 1 (parameters) c:windowssystem32calc.exe program 2 (filename) program 2 (path) program 2 (parameters) c:windows otepad.exe program 3 (filename) c:windows program 3 (path) c:my documentsmydoc.txt program 3 (parameters) Note: Please don't forget to add a shortcut to your Windows startup folder to delayrun.exe
