I cannot find msconfig. I tried searching for it under the Search section of
the Start menu and msnconfig could not be found. How do I find msconfig? Any
resopnse would be greatly appreciated

Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys. (note that this window is read-only so you must
manually navigate to the location below to edit or otherwise delete)

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP to the "windows" directory
or AutoRuns from sysinternals

Hi... Wesley..

If you are using W2000 OS then Msconfig is not there at all... If you have access to Windows 98 and perhaps XP (Maybe its there), you can get the msconfig and copy it to your installed windows\system folder.. It works just fine.

If you do not have, or cannot get Msconfig.. then let me know..

Happy hunting

Hi,

You can get a copy of msconfig at the following:

There is no msconfig in Windows 2000, but the above copy, from XP will
work fine.
