Startup manager

When Windows loads it's Startup file, it attempts to load every program
in there at the same time. Therefore if you have quite a lot of
programs starting when Windows starts, each program will try and grab
CPU time so that it can load.

That's not how multitasking works in Windows. Taskman *assigns* time
slots to programs, they don't "grab" them. Since ALL time is assigned
to SOME program, running programs all at the same time or one after
the other has nothing to do with CPU time.

The main reason to delay startup is that program B might require that
program A is already running or, in the case of a program like X-Desk,
the tray icons will have other programs' icons intermixed.
