Way to prioritize what programs start up and in what order?

[gregom]

I'm looking for a way either with Windows or a program that will allow me to prioritize the order in which programs startup when I login. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right areas or using good search parameters, but I haven't found anything.

Anyone know of a program that can do this?

TIA

Why would you even want to do this?

I could think of lots of reasons ... say he has written 2 programs from his own code. One does all the beefy work and pipes the info into the other one, which in that case dependencies would be vital.

But to answer the main question, you could create a batch file set to run when windows starts and then set the two files to start up in the batch file in the correct order (I believe that would work).

Or to just find out what runs at startup, and disable those things you don't want.. (possibly useful for spyware..)

I made a simple .bat file to use the lockworkstation command. So when my computer boots up, TweakUI automatically logs me into Windows and the the bat file locks the machine. I want to prioritize the lock to come earlier in the startup process.

No one knows of a way to do this? I'm sure theres a genious programmer here who could arrange it.
