Startup Manager 2.4.2 re-released

Glenn — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:20:01 +0000

Today we re-released Startup Manager 2.4.2. Te reason for this re-release are numerous fixes in the OpenCandy version included in the installer. So if you already have Startup Manager 2.4.2 installed there is no reason to update because the Startup Manager version included in the installer is exactly the same.

Startup Manager 2.4.2 can be downloaded right here.
There also is an ANSI version available and source code available over here.
And finally there is a list with installers for the translations (all translations are also included in the Startup Manager setup file).

Startup Manager and OpenCandy

Glenn — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:04:43 +0000

Together with Startup Manager 2.4.2, today Opencandy was released for the first time. And the brand new version of Startup Manager already makes use of it.

Opencandy’s goal is to fuel innovation and prosperity in the software community, and deliver the best applications to the right users.

OpenCandy is a network, created by six founding DivX members, of software creators who like to increase the visibility of their application by recommending each other’s. This is done by inserting an extra page in the installer to create a user-friendly experience and offer optimal engagement for making a software recommendation. You can visit this page to learn more.

Software is too hard to find, impossible to discover, and not intuitive enough to manage. We will enable people to discover and manage software by delivering the best, most relevant applications to them.

Because Startup Manager is yet another opensource project that is certainly worth giving a try, but not known by a lot of people, we decided to join OpenCandy and hope for the best!

For a complete list of changes, you might want to check our history file. Or just check the release notes. Startup Manager also is the first OpenCandy partner (read more).

100.000 downloads and counting!

Glenn — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:23:48 +0000

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

Glenn — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:30:08 +0000

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!

Edit offline user’s startup items

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?

Should we continue supporting old Windows versions?

Glenn — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:45:00 +0000

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.
