Since you're on limited bandwidth here is the relevant part: =================== HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices <Logon Prompt> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run StartUp Folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce With the exception of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...\RunOnce key, all keys and their entries are loaded asynchronously. Therefore, all entries in the RunServices and RunServicesOnce keys can potentially run at the same time. ================== I also found a tool which I'm going to play with you may find useful: <http://greatis.com/security/startuporder.htm> http://greatis.com/security/startuporder.htm -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2013 9:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Order of logon items I've a client who've tasked me to bring their logon time down to 15 seconds or under (I've done it before, its possible) I was wondering if it was documented anywhere the order of items applying in a logon? For instance, is there any specific timing to when, for instance, the shell starts, the Run part of the Registry is processed, the Startup section of the Start Menu is processed?
