What is simple way to delay invocation of the program in Startup group
(Start->Programs->Startup) by N seconds after login ? I am not talking
about
delaying all Startup program by N, but separate N per program. Let's
say
I want to space execution of my Startup items by 30 seconds from each
other,
rather then firing all simultaneously.

Anything builtin/registry, or some simple free utility ?

Thanks
Viki

Instead of invoking program xxx directly, invoke it from
within a batch file that you place into the startup folder:
@echo off
ping localhost -n 60 > nul
"c:\program files\Some Folder\xxx.exe"

You might try Startup Delayer.
