DELAY


Meaning of DELAY in English

Delay.exe Delayrun.exe

(John Hysted ???)

Used to delay the start of an application which loads automatically as Windows loads. In our experience this program is found solely on HP Pavilion PCs. HP’s own description : "This program is a program that is used to help prevent conflicts or timing issues on fast computers. Do not prevent from starting". Although we may be wrong, we feel this program may be an adaptation of John Hysted’s free DELAYRUN which was written so as to be run from RunServices where it gave his system a few more seconds to actually display the password box before Microsoft’s TweakUI would try to automatically fill in the password on the logon screen.

Recommendation :

If HP put it there, leave it. Someone at Hewlett-Packard had very good reasons for doing so.
