Is there a msconfig-like tool included with Windows 2000? Or a similar way to tell whats really being started when you boot up? Perhaps in the Registry ? Thanks :)

Havn't been able to try it myself, but it has been posted in this forum, and around the web that you can simply port msconfig from a W98 or Me box over to a W2K box and it functions fine.

There are also various 3rd party tools that perform the same and more functions.

Check out the utilities section at www.nonags.com for some options.

Also try:
Right click My Computer. Choose Manage.
Expand System information then Software Environment then Startup Programs.

I've used the msconfig from winme on w2k pc's before but I really like the Startup Control Panel from Mike Lin. You can get it as a Control Panel applet or as a stand-alone exe. I keep the stand-alone on a disk for service work. It works on all Windows platforms and is small and efficient.

Here's a link if you want to check it out:
