I've mounted the container tops along with tinned a few of the ends of the braided wire.

I can mount 4 boxes with ease

Just applied the glue.

The thumbscrews glued. Next time I'll drill the box and use rubber washers.

I created an setup project for it so now it super easy to install!

This was my idea! I'm to late again.
Ok I have still some more advanced ideas, but you get it.

Good job!!!

ha, sorry man. Figure you have a good code base to start from.

Surprisingly, I know two other people that wanted to do this program too.

One kicker is you need to be aware of programs like virus scanners that will normally scan on startup if you monitor IO or processor levels. They'll keep a load on your system for a bit. That is why I went with the simple baseline default.

A nice frontend that deals with MSConfig would be also nice.

Just throwing a few ideas out there. I'd suggest putting your project on http://www.codeplex.com if you're really interested in writing a more complex version.

I would love the program to scan C:\D&S\All Users\...\Delayed Startup as well as C:\D&S\user\...\Delayed Startup. Perhaps even some tool to convert registry entries to delayed startups?

Cool idea. One minor suggestion would be to use the TimeSpan type (instead of int) to represent time spans. That way you can avoid suffixing "InSeconds" to your variable names, and doing things like multiplying by 1000.

# re: Delayed Startup
@Daniel Fortunov: The reason why I didn't do a time span was in the configuration file, it is hard to tell a common user what a serialized time span is. Power users might even be confused on syntax.

That is why I just made it a simple 'in seconds'
