I have a small program that changes the Start menu to something I like. Unfortunately I need to wait till that program starts up for the start menu to change. Now is there a way to make it have high priority or have it start before everything else?
Maybe this can help you:
CPU Priority for Processes - Vista Forums
or
How to Make a Program Start at High Priority (Windows) - wikiHow
cheers

That's not what he asked. He wants to start the application first, before anything loads.
You can use a program called "StartQ" which you can change the order of your start-up files.
You can get it here:
Start-Q, a Windows Startup Optimizer & Manager
Manual is here:

Hello jgray152, welcome to Seven Forums!
If it'll run from the start menu, startup file that may do what you want, r click the startup file to open it.
I don't think that'll work because the things listed in the registry get's loaded before the start-up menu items. Start-Q should do the trick.
Hello Stargazer, welcome to Seven Forums!
Maybe I'll have a look at that program, are you associated with it?
No, I'm not associated with it. I do a lot of computer repair work and I have needed to change the start-up order before and it was recommended to me. You can do it manually, but that requires editing the registry and for most people, that would be an undertaking. I found that Start-Q works quite well.
