I know that you can use MSCONFIG in Win9x to troubleshoot and tweak startup configurations. Is there a comparable application in Win2K, and if so, where is it?

Yup, go to control panel | Admin Tools | Computer Management | System Tools.

It showed the information that I needed, but didn't allow me to do anything with it. Thanks anyway.

Mike Lin's Start UP Control Panel makes Windows2000 as easy as msconfig, and it's free.

Find it here:

There's no msconfig in w2k, but there are alternatives.

You can use the 98 or XP version, see: http://www.techadvice.com/win2000/m/msconfig_w2k.htm
or: http://windows.about.com/library/tips/bltip475.htm

You can configure individual services to start automatically, manually or disable them in: computer management>services and applications>services

You can use third party software: http://is-it-true.org/nt/nt2000/utips/utips22.shtml

This is what I was looking for. Exactly the same as MSCONFIG. The links were helpful, too. Thanks.
