Greetings --
Msconfig isn't "missing." MSConfig is/was a Win98/Me utility,
brought back in WinXP, which is also targeted at the home consumer
market. There is no equivalent utility included with WinNT/Win2K.
In most cases, one need only open the offending program and
deselect the option to "display icon in the system tray" or to "start
when Windows starts."
To view the list of your start up programs, look in the
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up
folders, and in the system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. These can
also be viewed, if I remember correctly, by right-clicking My
Computer, selecting "Manage" and expanding System Tools-- System
Information -- Software Environment -- Startup Programs. To prevent
any of them from starting at login, you'll have to delete shortcuts
from the startup folder(s) and/or edit the registry. I should point
out that, in order to make such system modifications requires one to
have administrative privileges to the machine in question. I should
also point out that one should not even consider editing the registry
unless he is fully confident that he knows exactly what is going to
happen as a result of each and every change.

When I typed START|RUN|MSCONFIG, the dialog box
appeared:------Cannot find the file "msconfig" (or one of its
components). Make sure the path & filename are correct & that all
required libraries are available.
Norton WinDoctor (NU2002) was unable to repair the problem, which
stated,"
MISSING PROGRAM FILE (1 Problem)
One or more programs on your computer Reference Files that are
inaccessible or cannot be found. This might cause the program to be
run improperly or not at all.
I had reloaded SETUP program & W2K PRO, but the problem remained.
Any help will be highly appreciated
