Instead of starting them individually, start them from a batch
file in the startup folder, in the order you want, and start them
with the Start command. Type start /? in a command windows to see
its parameters.

Run MSCONFIG, disable all startups and apply the change. Then re-enable them
one at a time in the order that you want, using Apply after each. However,
note that you can only change the order of startups within each of the four
groups (HKLM, HKCU, Common Startup and Startup). You cannot change the group
ordering.

If you need more control, create a batch or script to execute your startups
in a specific order, and use this script as your only startup (place a
shortcut to it in Common Startup or Startup). However, note that some
startups will re-instate their own startup entries. One solution to this
would be to use Spybot S&D's TeaTimer applet (yet another startup) to
prevent startups from re-instating their own startup entries.
