Normally I like to have as minimal startup programs as possible. This is in case I ever have to quickly start my computer to print something in an emergency. Sometimes, however, I'll turn on my computer and go do something like take a shower. In those instances, I'm okay with many programs running at startup (like Steam.)
Is there a program that can allow me to choose different startup modes when I first turn on my computer?
create diferent users?
Probably shouldn't be too hard to make such a program.
Microsoft Autoruns?
The easiest way is to use a batch file. Just copy and paste this into a text file and put it in the startup items folder (make sure file extensions are enabled so it's not saved as .bat.txt)
[code]@ECHO off
ECHO Would you like to perform a full (F) or Limited (L) startup?
ECHO If no choice is made in 60 seconds, Limited startup will be used.
CHOICE /C FL /T 60 /D L
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO 200
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO 100
:100
ECHO You selected Full startup.
# Type the path and program you want to start here (ex. c:\program files\steam\steam.exe)
# You can use more than one line, just make sure the below line is always last.
GOTO End
:200
ECHO You selected Limited startup.
# Type the path and program you want to start here (ex. c:\program files\steam\steam.exe)
# You can use more than one line, just make sure the below line is always last.
GOTO End
:End[/code]
msconfig?
