Worse than that are the options to configure automatic software startups while the system is running. The Windows Scheduler is not really capable of bringing much choice into the process.</p><p>Enter <a href="http://english.xpertdesign.de/info_xec.php">Xecutor</a> a multi-lingual (German, English and Spanish) software program that can be used to load software automatically at any time if the computer system is running. It can even import Windows autostart entries from both the Windows Registry and autostart file and include them in its own list although it is not recommended to import security software or system processes that way.</p><p>The main interface of Xecutor divides the applications into startup, shutdown and scheduler tabs which can be used to launch software automatically during startup, shutdown or user defined when the computer system is running.</p><p><span id="more-10215"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/xecutor-500x238.jpg" alt="xecutor" title="xecutor" width="500" height="238" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10216" /></p><p>Many of configuration options are available for all three types of situations. Executable files from the computer&#8217;s hard drive can be picked by using the file browser. It is possible to add parameters, to configure wait times and an option to minimize the software after launch.</p><p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/launch_software-500x448.jpg" alt="launch software" title="launch software" width="500" height="448" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10217" /></p><p>Launch conditions can be defined. The day of the week the software should be launched can be configured. Applications can be set to only launch before or after a specific time. The Scheduler adds another option: The possibility to start an application at a specific time or in intervals. The last option is to add a question before and a message after execution.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/30/launch-software-automatically-with-xecutor/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
