Overview:

A computer system starts running slower and start-up time takes longer over time as user downloads and installs new programs on the system over extended period of time. Even though all of those programs are valid, they might cause start-up program list grow unnecessarily with non critical applications. Operating systems like Windows do not have notion of delayed processing of start-up programs. Therefore when user reboots and logs on, all those programs need to run first before user can get fair share of CPU to run their own programs. We refer to this delay problem as start-up bloating which is caused by unnecessary insertion of non critical program entries to system registry.StartupBlaster is a lightweight Windows 2000/XP 32-bit proxy program that accelerates slow system start-up by keeping the system registry thin and gives user the control of the start-up programs list earlier. StartupBlaster improves user experience by enhancing the speed of start-up process. So with Startup Blaster you can start/login to your windows computer faster and you won't have to wait ages to load the initial programs which is wasting your valuable time. You can configure start-up applications to run manually or by setting some time-delay after which the applications will be started automatically.
