file that replaced msconfig in win2000

[Jim Gall]

What file can use the same as i did in win98 (msconfig)
in win2000? Somthing is trying to run and I need to
disable it to get the dialog box off the screen when the
computer starts.

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.

%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

copy msconfig from xp. it gives a few error messages but if you ignore them
and enter through you will see that it works
