Application Loader ?

Hi
When my PC starts up some times i get a bit of a freeze this seams to be due to programs trying to start at the same time, so my question - is there any software that will start up these programs in sequence? some sort of loader, any advice appreciated, thank you Fizz.

Can't say that I'd want to load yet another program at startup to help with a "sometimes - "bit" of a freeze."

You probably have a lot of stuff running at startup that you don't need.
You can disable things like IM programs, e-mail, update checkers for stuff like Adobe, Quicktime, Realplayer, and other non-security type programs from running at startup.
See this for more info about what you can disable.

Just a question here.
Windows Defender (don't laugh) can sort out programs at start up, anyone used it for this?
