After a long delay, I've published another Coding 4 Fun article. This one is a good start toward optimizing Windows startup. It scans your Startup folder and will start the items at boot-time instead of Windows. The advantage is that it can insert a delay between each application, or even wait for an idle CPU before launching one. It uses user controls, a background worker, threading, and a number of other cool features. This will be my last XP/VS2005 article. Everyone should be on Visual Studio 2008 now! As for Vista, well I'll try to make things work in both OS's unless it's a very Vista-specific feature that I'm exploiting. Enjoy!
