Guest Mike Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I want to delay the startup of windows services. I do not want to create dependencies to do this. I need to be able to start windows services on a timed delay. It can use another service as a starting point to cascade the starting of other services. Is there a reg entry that can delay the start of the service based on the boot time? Thanks

It would invoke this batch file to create a delay of some 300 seconds. @echo off ping localhost -n 300 > nul net start "NameOfService"
