Win 2K Startup

[Guest]

I have searched most of the FAQs that I can think of, and read many of the
postings here. Some questions, and answers, seem to be right on the border of
what I'd like to do, but it's still not EXACTLY what I want to do. So, here
goes.
Can anyone point me in the direction, registry, or any other type of
database file, where I can delete the programs that come up during startup?
There is no, MSCONFIG program in 2000, unlike XP, and whenever I use
RegEdit(32), and go to the 'Startup' key, what I want to delete is no longer
there (because I had already deleted it.)
So, that's my problem, not knowing where to go and delete those durn startup
programs. HELP!!!!! THANKS

Also look at AutoRuns from www.sysinternals.com. It's free and is more
complete than MSCONFIG.

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 for Windows from Windows Sysinternals
