In Windows 98 there was a handy utility called msconfig that let you disable startup programs and apps. I can't find a good way to do this in 2000 pro.You can go to the startup folder and delete it out, but everything doesn't always appear there..any suggestions?

Search the registry for "run" keys. there are several ways to run programs at startup through the registry. For a complete explaination go to support.microsoft.com and do a search for windows 2000 and registry.
