Can I control the order in which programs are loaded during boot-up?

Yes - by placing each of them into a batch file, in the desired order.

 

[DL]

With a third party tool, or by creating a batch file to start up the
programs, as apposed to having them autostart
The Q being why?

Can I control the order in which programs are loaded during boot-up?  

There are some ways to control this.

The best recommendation will follow a description of the issue you are
trying to resolve and why you think you need to do this, if of course
it is not an intrusion on your privacy.

What issues do you see that you think starting things in a different
order will resolve?

What things are not normally in a good order?

What would a better order be?

If you could change the order what would you change?

The Q being why?

To make jobless drug junkies like you worry about everything and to keep you
guys busy so that trouble on our streets is kept to a minimum.

Get a job boy and stop scrounging our benefit system.

Yes. Load them from a batch file, putting them in the order you want
them within the batch file.

them within the batch file.

What mechanism would you use to keep them from loading into the System Tray,
etc., so that the batch file could run and do its suggested job?

you can always utilize
the three hierarchy's
in windows to launch
programs.

firstly, you can use
the msconfig to enable
which programs to
start at boot time.

secondly, you can then
use the startup folder
to launch the next set
of programs.

thirdly, you can then
launch the third set
of programs manually.

Remove the corresponding entries from their current locations (which may
not always be the best idea). See

Along with what the others have suggested, if you're having a problem with a
particular program loading too soon, there's a nice little program called
Startup Delayer (
http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay ). Although it's
not listed, it also works fine in Windows7. I use it to delay two different
programs on my notebook that were giving me errors when they started
together.
