- Version: 40.1

-
- Startup Prefs - The Original Startup-Sequence Preferences Utility
-
- At least I haven't seen anything like it before,
- sure there are startup managers etc,
- but they usually are started at the beginning of the startup
- and use their own type of startup systems instead of the normal one.
-
- Startup Prefs however, change the actual Startup-Sequence values,
- making it possible to "EDIT" your Startup-Sequence
- without the need to edit it by hand and cross your fingers
- hoping nothing goes wrong.
-
- It won't let you change everything (and may never do :-)
- Startup Prefs is ment to let you change some things
- you may need to change, once in a while or in special situations!
-
- FEATURES!
- o You can set the FailAt level
- (how sensitive the system is towards startup errors etc.)
-
- o You can choose to start Workbench with/without Delay,
- or decide to not start Workbench at all.
-
- o You can choose to keep the bootshell or not
-
- o You can choose if you want to copy ENV to Ram:
- (The ENV directory and assign is still made)
- (but all those small files want be put in your Ram:)
-
- o You can choose if you want ARexx started
-
- o You can choose if you want to mount your DOS Drivers.
-
- o You can choose if you want to mount your Monitor Drivers.
-
- o You can choose if you want to start the DataTypes system.
-
- o You can choose if you want to use the User-Startup
-
- o You can choose if you want to have a quiet startup
- (nice if you don't want messages disturbing your bootscreen :-)
-
- o You can choose if you want to start a new shell after Workbench
- have started.
-
- o And you can restore your original (OLD) Startup-Sequence,
- or the Startup-Sequence you last saved.
-
- o You can save the changes and reboot later,
- or let Startup Prefs reboot for you :-)
-
- o There are some safety requesters for things like
- quit and reboot plus reminders for
- that you need to reboot to set the changes into effect,
- and that you should wait until all disk activity has finished
- before pressing the Reboot button :-)
-
- o Startup Prefs will convert your old Startup-Sequence
- into one more usable by Startup Prefs,
- but before doing so it will save your old Startup
- as S:Startup-Sequence.ORIGINAL :-)
-
- o Locale support and Installer script!
-
- o Extensive documentation, with some nice info on system startup and more.
