Yes - by placing each of them into a batch file, in the desired order.
 
With a third party tool, or by creating a batch file to start up the

programs, as apposed to having them autostart

The Q being why?

There are some ways to control this.



The best recommendation will follow a description of the issue you are

trying to resolve and why you think you need to do this, if of course

it is not an intrusion on your privacy.



What issues do you see that you think starting things in a different

order will resolve?



What things are not normally in a good order?



What would a better order be?



If you could change the order what would you change?

Yes. Load them from a batch file, putting them in the order you want

them within the batch file.

What mechanism would you use to keep them from loading into the System Tray,

etc., so that the batch file could run and do its suggested job?

you can always utilize

the three hierarchy's

in windows to launch

programs.



firstly, you can use

the msconfig to enable

which programs to

start at boot time.



secondly, you can then

use the startup folder

to launch the next set

of programs.



thirdly, you can then

launch the third set

of programs manually.

Remove the corresponding entries from their current locations (which may

not always be the best idea). See

Along with what the others have suggested, if you're having a problem with a

particular program loading too soon, there's a nice little program called

Startup Delayer (

http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay ). Although it's

not listed, it also works fine in Windows7. I use it to delay two different

programs on my notebook that were giving me errors when they started

together.
