  Startup Programs on Windows Vista: Inside the Box
Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In prior versions of Windows, especially if the installation had many applications installed over the years, it was not easy to run a program or navigate the system shortly after booting. I remember fighting with my mouse or looking over at the system chassis to see if the hard disk light was still blinking frantically, wondering "Are we there yet?"

Now think about the ideal Windows startup experience. Perhaps you envision not only the desktop loading quickly, but having a system that is responsive immediately. This was one of the Windows Vista design goals, but how did we make it happen? Enter Windows Vista's new "boxing" feature. In Vista, applications started from common startup locations get automatically "boxed" for the first 60 seconds. The term "boxed" means it will run with reduced priority, yielding and giving precedence to other programs such as those manually launched by a user.
