Is there a way to control the System Tray Icon Order?

 

TIA!

The only way I have heard of doing this is with the use of a third party

program. http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/dlyrsumm.html offers the Delayer

program for free and I think it probably works with XP even though it is not

listed as one of the systems the program is designed for.

Not natively at least. There are 3rd party apps that will attempt to

help the situation but unless you know the length of time each starting

app takes to run it still won't work. And besides isn't really

necessary 99.9% of the time. XP after a few restarts will sort of

"optimize" the registry anyway and that includes the order of the

startup items.

ZA for instance starts early in the process but always finishes late

because of the time and amount of work it does while it's coming up.

I did use WinPatrol to put some delayed starts on things I needed but

didn't want to waste boot time on, and it worked out pretty well there

but there isn't a whole lot you can do otherwise.
