Stalker Go : Enrich your list of startup items to easily prepare your desktop when the computer starts, and export entire configurations as batch files
Windows prepares all of its services right before you reach the desktop. There’s also the case in which third-party applications add themselves among the list of startup items, as well as those which you want to launch at startup, but there are no options to do so. Luckily, this inconvenience can be easily bypassed with Stalker Go.
Only able to add new entries to startup list
A cool thing about it is portability, letting you take advantage from its features on other computers directly from a thumb drive. Registry entries are only altered to enable functionality of the selected items, but the health status of the target PC remains intact. Just make sure that .NET Framework is on the computer you use it on.Unfortunately, the application does not detect items which are already on the list of startup items, which makes it just a method of adding your own entries. A large list is used to display all items you add, while the method through which is done features two modes. Additional options can be used to start on the spot, add delay, and more.
Create and load batch configurations
Although drag and drop is not supported as an import method, the browse dialog is easy enough to help you load any kind of file. In addition, you can use a dedicated function to have all executable files in the source folder added to the list. You can also include custom commands.It’s possible to automatically start the application with Windows, and add a custom delay in seconds to prevent overwhelming the startup process. More than that, it’s easy enough to export the entire list as a batch application, as well as to load it for later use.
A few last words
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Stalker Go is a reliable application, but only to add new entries to the existing list of startup items. The only downside to the whole operation is the lack of support for items already on the list, but parameters make it easy to set delay, and even export the entire configuration.
