Win2k startup

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services

You can set services to manual (you can start a service but have to do it yourself), automatic (service starts when windows does), or disabled (service can not be started).

A couple of ways to get things to stop starting up is to go through the registry and delete keys that start apps up on start up. open up regedit and go to hkcu/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run and runonce and any apps you don't want tostart up delete the key. the other place is hklm/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run runonce and runonceex and delete any startup keys for apps that you don't want to start up.

hkcu - hkey_current_user
hklm - hkey_local_machine

Another way to do it is If you have access to an XP machine you can borrow it from there. I think it sits in the c:\winnt

You need MSCONFIG for Win2K. You can get one here:

Download this, unZIP it, and run it. Click on the Startup tab. Uncheck any apps that are set to run on startup, and the apps won't run thenext time you restart your system!

hope this helps
