Putting a delay time in the automatic startup of certain application when the computer starts

Question

I now have a licensed version of Window 7 Home basic 64 bit.

Installed memory RAM → 8GB

Usable → 7.82GB

I won't say that the system is not fast, but not too much fast as I anticipated that I will have after migrating from a 32 bit architecture to a 64 bit architecture.

I think there is a certain software that is slowing down the speed may be avast antivirus.

Question #2 → I think lot depends upon the processor not just RAM?

Question # 3 → Is it possible that I can queue up certain application to start when the windows is restarted. The boot up time is quite high at the moment, and I want to increase the performance by decrease this time frame. Something Like this →

1. Skype should start automatically after 5 minutes.

2. Wamp should start after 12 minutes.

Currently they all start one after another or may be simultaneously and this increases the startup or boot time.

That means assigning a time lag when these applications will autostart after boot. This will help me to get the fully working chrome at boot in less time. while I will read my emails gradually the applications I mentioned will start.

This will ensure the fast window start up. Because generally until all the applications have been started even the chrome takes a lot of time to start for the first time. Aligning the applications mentioned above will optimize my system for better speed at window initialization or startup or boot.

Solution

Run Task Scheduler from start menu

create a new task

add the trigger "at logon" and here you can select the delay:

under Actions click on New and select the program you want to start.

Click ok to create the task. Repeat this for all programs you like to start and use Autoruns to remove the normal startup entries for the programs.
