The order of custom startup items in XP

Have you thought about setting the order in the Windows XP operating system to start itself? Below I will introduce the method of specifying the order of the self-starting project.

1. Create a new folder, for example: C:\\Ordered Launch, then cut all the shortcuts under the "Start All Programs Startup" folder to this folder, and then you want to Shortcuts to the launched project are also placed in this folder.

2. Enter "Cmd" in "Run", open the console mode, and then switch the current directory to "C:\\Ordered Launch". After switching the directory, enter the command "DIR /B /S ordered.bat".

Then open the newly created batch file by entering the command "notepad ordered.bat". You can arrange the self-starting items in the order you want in the open notepad. It should be noted that each project needs to be enclosed in quotation marks and start with "start", for example: start "C: \\Ordered Launch\\First Program.lnk".

3. Double-click the batch file to test. These self-starting projects will start in the scheduled order. But if one of the projects takes more time to initialize, the self-starting sequence can be messed up.

But don't worry, in this case, you can add a delay code below the slow start project, for example: "ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 nul", this command can provide 5 seconds The delay time of the clock, by changing the number after the "-n", can get different delay times.

4. After testing the batch file, open the "Start All Programs Startup" folder, then right-click and drag the batch file into the "Start All Programs Startup" folder, in the pop-up menu. Select "Create Shortcut".
