Delaying a service in Win 2003

I am looking for some kind of tool or command that can delay a service on windows startup. Basically, I have another service that needs to finish loading first before this one can be started. The delay should be around 5 minutes. It has to be without a user logging on. Any ideas?

re: Delaying a service in Win 2003

If it is a service you are writing yourself then you can set a dependency.

Otherwise the only option I can think of is to set the Startup Type to manual and trigger starting it somehow that matches your requirements.
