And we have more good news to announce. We have finally reached the milestone of 100.000 downloads! Since the first release back in May 2005 the number of downloads has been increasing almost monthly. The following graphic shows this trend.

As you can see, about half of the 100.000 downloads so far happened in the last 8 months. So I think we can say we’re doing a good job so far.

български език (Bulgarian) translation available

August 24th, 2008

Dimitar (aka mitakas) provided us with a Bulgarian translation. The installer for the translation can be downloaded over here .

Note that because this translation was released after Startup Manager 2.4.1, it is not included in the Startup Manager installer. But you can download and install it separately by clicking the previously mentioned download link or by navigating to the translations page in the downloads section and selecting the Bulgarian installer.

Cheers!

At some point, the following question asks itself. We’d like to know your opinion. And if you vote no, we’d like to know why.

Edit offline user’s startup items

July 1st, 2008

As administrator, you might not only want to edit only your own startup configuration and the global startup configuration, but also the startup configuration of invidual users.

In order to implement this feature in Startup Manager, we could provide some list with user names in Startup Manager and mount the user registry based on the selection in this list. But the fact is that this is only possible on Windows NT.

So we should ask ourselves the following question: "Is it OK to drop support for Windows previous to Windows 2000? ". In my own opinion it is, but what do you think?
