Been researching the cleaning of XP Pro and most "experts" say the best and most effective time is soon after a re-boot.I tried the / Auto command which works fine after (eg) browsing, but at sys. start up, it seems to be trying to clean at the same time as my AV/Firewall etc etc are starting/loading, therefore I would like to add a delay of 60 secs( or longer) so after my coffee is poured, I can sit down to a ready-to-go-PC that has also been crapcleaned. Is there an easy way please?

Thanks for that CeeCee, but I really prefer to just add a command rather than install a special application. ( By the way a year ago I tried that app and did extensive tests--in the end it SLOWED down my startup, that was the net effect!) Thanks anyway.
