Boost Windows Startup

If you have lots of applications in your startup like Java, msn, anti-virus etc, it usually takes more time in loading your windows. It processes all those applications hence increases your boot time. You can ofcourse tweak it through regedit, remove the applications that you don’t want and vice versa but what if you need to run that anti-virus to keep your pc safe? – there’s a solution called “Startup Delayer”.
