Program order in Auto-Start

[BriansUnited]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to select the order programs start in
autostart (the ones listed in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ).

Thank you

Brian

I can tell you: it's not.

There are some undocumented techniques that people rely on, but
there's no guarantee they'll work after the next Windows patch. The
only 100% reliable way is to start things in the order you want
from a script or batch file. See
