In the brand new version of Reg Organizer 6.50, a system registry manager for Windows, we introduce a totally reworked tool to configure the boot up process of the operating system. “Program Autostart” has segregated from “Crucial registry sections” to an individual instrument launched from the sidebar of Reg Organizer. And the tool has become a completely new under the hood as well. Re-written from scratch, it offers convenient management of autostart programs and understandable display of the results in comparison with previous values.
Earlier, you could give only rough estimation to the effect of autostart boosting, or had to use the “Applications and services log”. Both options are not too convenient or easy to use. The first way simply doesn’t have any visible parameters, and the second one is to complex to search and compare the data. So we decided to blend simplicity and easiness of the autostart process depicting it as a diagram right in Reg Organ izer. Now, in the whole new “Program Autostart” tool you can instantly see results of autostart manipulations and compare them with previous values gained before.
The diagram visually shows OS loading duration at different times. You can also instantly see how efficient your actions were.
Speeding the system up is usually done via disabling unnecessary autostart elements or removing them. But in Reg Organizer we decided to go beyond that and created one more possibility – to create delayed processes. The method allows to begin work with the system faster and still run all necessary applications in the background while the system is already being utilized as usual. The best choice for delayed processes are needful, but non-critical processes.
To delay starting of an element, simply select it in the list of Reg Organizer and click the “Delay loading for … sec”.
When you delay processes, the timer automatically increments by the already selected period. So you can put an element into the autostart queue with merely one click composing the program loading sequence you want on every startup of the computer.
To temporarily disable an autostart element, select it in the list and set the checkmark at the “Disable temporarily” box.
When you disable unnecessary elements in other autostart managers, there is a possibility that these records will re-activate. This is caused by programs that often check if certain autostart registry records are still there, and restore them if they are lost. Fortunately, we foresaw this aspect in Reg Organizer too, so disable elements won’t re-appear again – they will be automatically disabled if a program eventually restores them.
And finally, how you can use this in your work? In particular, when you manage autostart elements (remove, disable or delay starting programs), you need to restart the system and watch the diagram. If everything is done right, the fresh system loading times should be less than previous ones. If a bar on the diagram has become longer, the loading time has increased, and you should reconsider the order and the number of executed elements.
The upper bar shows loading time of the last boot up. Bars below it show previous loading times.
Since the loading time parameter is not constant and may fluctuate around even with the same autostart parameters, you should monitor overall loading dynamics of few recent boot ups instead of just two adjacent loading times.
