Auto Start Manager Version 1.2
Auto Start Manager extends the functionality of the Windows StartUp
folder by giving the ability to conditionally start programs at
startup time or after a specified time delay.
The program allows time and configuration dependent conditions to be
tested before deciding which programs to start. Tests are provided for
day of week, time of day, time elapsed since last run, start
configuration, and power mode (if APM installed).
Of particular interest to notebook users is the ability to control the
programs started, based on the configuration (e.g. docked/undocked)
and power settings (mains/battery).
Programs can be started immediately, or after a specified delay time
thereby allowing the staggering of program starts. Programs can optionally
be minimized, maximized or closed after a predetermined time.
Auto Start Manager is written using Borland C++ Builder, and runs
under Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
Auto Start Manager is distributed as shareware with a modest registration
fee of $10.
