Launching Parameters Demystified

Start-Q provides you advance launching parameters that allows you to fine tune the launching behaviour and the process it creates. Here are the advance parameters that Start-Q provides for each startup item.

1. Window Size
2. Process Priority
3. Allow Skip
4. Wait Until the application fully active before loading next
5. Paused until this application has been closed

1. Window Size

With this parameter you can specify the state of the main window of the respected process of a startup item. There are five possible value for this parameter.

1. Normal
2. Minimized
3. Maximized
4. Hidden

2. Process Priority

Thanks to this parameter, you now can instruct Windows to give faster (or slower) attention by the form of cpu time to the process created by specified startup item(s). By enjoying more cpu time, a more prioritized process will complete its tasks sooner than if it was given lower one. So if you have a startup items that is important and crucial, why don't you give it higher priority to boost its performance.

Here is possible process priority values.

1. Normal
2. Higher
3. Lower
4. Real time

3. Allow Skip

This parameter allows you to prevent skipping the associated startup item if the user using GUI Queue. Initially the item will be allowed to be skipped. So to prevent skipping you have to remove the checkmark from the checkbox.

4. Wait until the application fully active before loading next

By enabling this parameter the next item in the queue won't be launched until Start-Q detects that the last item has been fully activated.

5. Pause until this application has been closed

Use this parameter if you want the process created by the startup item to be fully complete execution (i.e. launch - run - close) before the next startup item allowed to be launched. Please use caution with this, because the rest of your startup items in the queue may never be launched due to improper use of it.
