Some users have found it helpful to delay the start of Weather-Display on systems which load many programs at startup. The full Weather-Display download package includes the wdstartdelay.exe program to do this.
This is how to set it up:
Check that the wdstartdelay.exe program is in your Weather-Display directory (default is c:\wdisplay).
In Weather-Display, on the Setup menu set “Start when windows starts” to “No (default)”.
Shut down Weather-Display.
The default delay time is set to 5 seconds, this can make it hard to catch the setup screen unless you are an experienced gamer so I recommend this next step:
Using the Windows Start > Search locate the wdstartdelay.ini file and open it (Notepad). It should look like this:
[Settings]
delay=5
Change the delay number to 30 (we’ll set the actual delay later) and save/close the file.
Start the wdstartdelay program by (double) clicking on wdstartdelay.exe.
wdstartelay will start in the taskbar,
Click to maximize and this window will open:
Set the desired time delay using the up/down buttons and check the “Start with Windows” box.
Close this window by clicking on the X button.
Reboot the computer.
wdstartdelay will show in the taskbar, and after the delay time Weather-Display will start.
