Looking for Win98 Startup File Execution Tweak

I recently read somewhere that there was a tweak to force windows to execute startup files (after the desktop appears) sequentially rather than concurrently.

Running the files sequentially is supposed to reduce disk accesses and reduce the overall startup time (assuming your hard disk is defragmented).

I forgot where I saw this and how it was done and was wondering if anybody has heard/tried it out.

Found a reference to WMAlign in the WinME article at tweak3d.net but it's not quite what I was looking for.

I'm already using Launch Rocket from Nuts&Bolts which does a pretty good job especially with applications that load multiple files on startup like Photoshop.

I think it should be some type of registry setting to prevent multiple files from starting at the same time.
