Windows XP has msconfig,which can be accessed from the RUN box.

The W98 msconfig can be copied into W2k.

Msconfig.exe can be ran in both XP and Windows 2000. But the question was is there an equivalent to what is msconfig.exe in the windows 2000 environment. Thank you for the the info about using msconfig in the NT world.

I believe that you can copy the Windows 98 msconfig file over to Windows 2000 and use it.

I found a msconfig for 2000 when i did a search for it. If you want i can email it to you. Just let me know.

In win2k (if what you want to do is set what services start at boot-up) you can go to services in admintools and set the start-up status for any given service; manual, disabled or auto.
WinXP has msconfig but Win2000 is missing it, its just one of those 'oops'es. Feel free to toss the the E-Mail and I'll send you the executable, i alwys have it on a disk or network share just for safe keeping!
Otherwise download it from this link: http://www.techadvice.com/win2000/m/msconfig_w2k.htm
