I want to delay the startup of windows services. I do not want to create
dependencies to do this. I need to be able to start windows services on a
timed delay. It can use another service as a starting point to cascade the
starting of other services. Is there a reg entry that can delay the start of
the service based on the boot time?

Thanks

You could set the start mode of this service to "manual", then
create a scheduled task that launches at boot time. It would
invoke this batch file to create a delay of some 300 seconds.
@echo off
ping localhost -n 300 > nul
net start "NameOfService"
