is there an msconfig equivalent for W2K

[Donkey]

I use the msconfig a lot in win 98 and was wanting to have a bit more control ovewr what was loading up in to win2k but can't find a way. Is there an equivalent to msconfig for w2k?

From the "Run" command, type in MSCONFIG.

It will load with a couple of errors, saying it can't find system.ini, etc. Tell it ok on each of these and it will end up with the W2K Msconfig utility, allowing you to control startup items, etc.

There is no MSCONFIG in Windows 2000.

I disabled the services I did not need at startup (be carful doing this), deleted the things I did not need in the start folder and there is a reg hack to get rids of programs starting up.


Here are (http://win2000tips.home.att.net/Tipstricks.htm#Msconfig.%20%20How%20do%20I%20remov e%20stuff%20from%20my%20startup?) a couple programs that will do what you want.
