My Startup Delayer

My Startup Delayer is a tiny and portable tool that gives you control over the apps which automatically run at system startup by deleting their registry keys. It comes packed with just a few intuitive options for advanced PC users.

No installation necessary, aside from .NET Framework

Provided that you have .NET Framework set up on your computer, you don't need to install anything else. You can drop the executable file anywhere on the disk and just click it to run, or save it to a pen drive to directly launch it on any machine effortlessly.
As far as the interface goes, My Startup Delayer adopts a normal window with a clear-cut structure that provides direct access to all available options.

View, disable, delay, or remove autostart apps

It shows all current autostart entries once initialized, letting you remove the ones you don't want to contribute to the system's slower boot time.
You can study the name, registry hive location, status, executable name, and disk path of each entry, set the status to normal, delayed or disabled, remove its entry from the registry, or look up additional information online.
It's also possible to specify the wait time before and after launching each delayed executable, show the loader window and system tray messages on system startup, as well as to check for software updates with one click. There are no other notable options provided by My Startup Delayer.

Evaluation and conclusion

The tool didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the PC in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. It rapidly changed the status of autostart apps. No error dialogs were shown, and My Startup Delayer didn't hang or crash.
Although it's not as feature-rich as other similar tools, this software utility provides an intuitive and effective way to disabling or delaying Windows autorun applications, and it can be easily handled by anyone.
