I'd like a setting to not start any work until X minutes after BOINC Manager starts. Windoze takes long enough on startup, I don't need every startup and systray application slowing it down.

I had to fiddle around but I got the ThreadMaster to work with the registry file below.

Issues I ran into and fixed with the reg file below:
* Previous ThreadMaster Applications/Exceptions were not cleared when merging new settings.
* Setting CPUThresholdPct to 100 prevents throttling.
* The applications name should be indentical to the Image Name that appears in Task Manager
* You do NOT need 2 entries one with and one without the .exe extension.


My boinc.reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\ThreadMaster\\Parameters]
"CPUThresholdPct"="95"
"MainSampleTime"="30"
"ThreadOverloadActionStart"=""
"ThreadOverloadActionStop"=""

;
; Clear previous ThreadMaster Applications
;
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\ThreadMaster\\Parameters\\Applications]

;
; Add new ThreadMaster Applications to Throttle
;
; NOTE: Setting CPUThresholdPct to 100 prevents these from throttling
; NOTE: Use the Image Name exactly as it appears in Task Manager.
; You do NOT need 2 entries one with and one without the .exe extension.
