In windows 98 we could type msconfig.exe at the run prompt to invoke the systems configuration bits and pieces, this was a handy tool for disabling programs from running at start up. What is the equivalant in Win 2000 ?

Keeping it short cause i'm on my way out the door !! and heading to a boozer !!!

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone. You can copy MSCONFIG from W98 and use it in W2000

there is no equivalent in windows 2000. They took msconfig out and then put it back in in windows xp.

In win2k 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 always 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
