MSCONFIG

[Guv Bob]

Where's that dang thang at!!?? In Win98SE, you hit RUN and enter MSCONFIG
and you are off to the races. I want to see what programs are starting up
and remove all the goofy ones. Thanks in advance.

MSconfig isn't included in Win2K. You can download and install a copy of
the XP version, but I prefer Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel or Autoruns
from the Sysinternals collection.

Thanks, Gary. Will give it a try. Do you know if it is possible to install
the MSCONFIG from Win98 onto 2000?

I've heard that you can, but I'm leary of running Win98 stuff on NT-based
versions. You can download a copy of the XP version from a number of
different sites, including this one:
