how to launch a dll or sys file?

[none]

There's a program here which is initiated at startup from the startup folder. It uses a sys file and dll. Usually upon startup the
laptop displays an error saying the dll did not load. As soon as the system calms down (workable desktop) I can relaunch the program
(fan speed control) and all works well, so, two questions:

Is there a program for use with Windows startup to delay this fan control launch until things settle down from startup?

Is there a place in the registry I can enter a dll path/filename and have it load at startup (same question for a SYS file)?

Thanks

There is a program named Startup Delayer which puts a timed delay on start
up programs

I have found and used a few others, but now I don't bother. It may work for
you.

Instead of starting this program directly from the startup
folder, place it inside a batch file that is also located in
the startup folder. This batch file will delay it by 180 seconds:

@echo off
ping localhost -n 180 > nul
"c:\program files\Fan Control\fan.exe"
