Can I define delayed stratup for a specific item?
Hi,My home pc is connected via vpn to the net. VPN connection can't be added to the startup item set since VPN requires some processes to be activated prior to connection.I'm looking for a way to set automatic login in spite of this limitation.One idea I play with is to add my VPN shortcut to the startup list, but specify a time delay until all required steps are completed.Is there a way to a shortcut to the startup list and specify a delay for it?

Hi,You can create a dependon service for VPN using registry. This artical has detailed instruction and I believe it still works on windows 7.However, modifying registry could be degerous and cause damager to the system, you can install a third party tool to achieve this feature: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/startdelay.html
