Not sure if anyone is interested in this. I'm posting it here rather than in the Plugins forum since it is not specific to DVD Profiler.



SlowStarter is a program that runs when Windows starts up, and it can start other programs with an optional delay. there are three possible reasons to use this:

1. You can autostart programs that do not have that option built in.
2. You can delay the start of the program in order to let other Windows startup functions finish first.
3. You can define the order in which the programs start (by using different delays) if that's important.

I think that there are other programs that does things like this. This was just another case of "let's see if I can do this." Also, I wanted to be able to start DVD Profiler on Windows startup. I could have done that by hacking the registry directly with RegEdit, but where's the fun in that? 

Anyway, if you'd like to try it: SlowStarter 1.0

I have learned that there was a bug in SlowStarter 1.0 that could prevent the program from starting. This has been rectified, and the program has been updated so it shows its status during Windows startup.

I currently use it myself for autostarting DVD Profiler, and for delaying the start of tools  that depend on HTTPJolie så that those tools don't start before Profiler is running. For me, that means a delay of at least 15 seconds more than the delay (if any) for starting DVD Profiler.
