#3 Launchy - Bootup Crash Fix (!)

[Kenzeitak]

This is only a temporary solution which works for me, im not sure if it works for you but it might be worth a shot. Its only some batch files and text files. (2kb)

Remember to read the Readme.txt file properly!!!!!
You will have to edit some things yourself.

(!) Explanation:
What it does is simply spend some time before launching launchy at startup. A stupid and simple solution until the real problem is fixed.

(!) Note:
Since it will ping your own computer you might have to "allow" the visual basic script called "runscript.vbs" to run with your firewall. It all depends what kind of security you have.

Hope this helps...

Launchy VisualBasic Run command

I noted that this works about 1/3 of the boot times.
You might have to add another line of "ping localhost" into the "sleep.bat" file.

It will then look like this
[code]
echo off
ping localhost
ping localhost
c:\windows\launchy.lnk
[/code]

Sorry Kenzeitak, I hardly ever look at the patches section. Yes, this would have worked. Thankfully the problem is fixed for good now.

Thanks!
