Microsoft created a new feature on Windows 8 that allow users to manage startup programs on Windows Task Manager:
We can Disable or Enable programs that Windows show us that are having "High" impact on Windows 8 startup time. There is a way to disable it, but assuming that I don't want to completelly disable it from automatic startup, I just want to set a delay time on this program startup, as already happends on Windows services:
Automatic (Delayed) is a new startup type introduced in Windows Vista,
that starts the service a short while after the system has finished
its booting and initial busy operations, so that the system boots up
faster.
There is any way to do that? Even being with Windows register, vbs, powershell or whaterver..?

Soluto should do the trick - Its an application meant for measuring and optimising start up times. You can select the 'pause' option to load a startup item when needed, and the delay option to delay a startup entry.
This article seems to state its a registry hack, but dosen't actually say what entries need editing - so this may be another option.
