How long does it take your computer to boot up? Is it "bathroom trip" long? Is it "grab a cup of coffee" long? Or is it "clean the coffeepot, make the coffee, pour a cup, and clean the kitchen" long? Sometimes long boot times don't necessarily mean viral infection or failing hard drive - sometimes it's because of all of those startup items that you've collected over time!
With Chameleon Startup Manager, you'll be able to take control over which items get loaded at Windows startup, and in what order, increasing system stability and reducing boot times. For example, Chameleon Startup Manager can be used to remove or temporarily disable specific startup items - this is functionality that you've come to expect. But here's something entirely NEW and DIFFERENT - Chameleon Startup Manager can also DELAY the launch of certain startup programs, so you can have your essential startup items load first, while the delayed ones launch well after you're up and running!
If you use your computer for different functions, say work versus gaming versus internet browsing, Chameleon Startup Manager lets you configure different Windows Startup Configurations that are specifically tailored for each use. Chameleon Startup Manager even offers an automatic delayed startup option that allows the computer to be started as quickly and smoothly as possible, with each program launched in sequence rather than simultaneously.
Many applications like to sneak startup items onto your computer without your knowledge or consent. With Chameleon Startup Manager, not only can you disable these auto-installs with one click, you'll also be alerted to every new program added to startup by the handy Chameleon Startup Monitor!

- “The program works so nice, my programs load up great!!!”- Andy
- “I just want to fanatically encourage everyone who's ever been unhappy with other startup managers to try this out. It has no contest with any other startup manager I've ever tried. It's small, it's simple, it looks good, and it's the only manager with a system startup monitor that I'll actually use. The CPU utilization option removes the need to spend a lot of time setting startup delays for everything. In fact, I have not found one feature missing so far, and the development of the product seems active.Thanks for the killer product!”- broken85
- “I use and love the program. One of the features I really like (as I have said previously) is the ability to create, save, and load different configurations.”- Ken
