be careful with that program, I used it for a while then observed that some programs were actually starting twice!. once as normal, then once again as delayed. The delayer program fails to "turn off" some start up launches. Logitech setpoint was one of the misbehavers, I think
some windows services ( in Win 7 anyway) can be set to auto+delayed which is a safer solution. Ccleaner will show you all your startup programs for free & lets you disable the useless ones .
even better is to replace "shut down" with sleep ! My main PC only goes off when needed for windows updates or when there's a power cut !
