In TechRepublic's book 'PC Troubleshooter Resource Guide Vol. 3, under the section, Top 10 tips for troubleshooting PC system slowdowns, under tip#6, there is a reference to the 'msconfig.exe' utility. Where will the utility be located on a W2K machine, or where could I find it on a W2K install cd? While I can find on W98 machine easily, I have not been able to find on either the machine or cd. Thanks.

It's not on Win2000 -- but the msconfig utility can be copied from a Win98 computer and it will operate on Win2000.

You can also use this freeware in place of msconfig

Personally, I like this copy of MSCONFIG for Win2K the best:

Preferably copy msconfig from an XP machine and put in your C:\winnt\system32 folder. It works fine
