This app doesn't exist in Win2k. You have to do it manually. There are
only a few places to look for startup items though, so it isn't too
difficult.

The user profile directory
(C:\Documents & Settings\<ProfileName>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
The AllUser profile directory
(C:\Documents & Settings\AllUsers\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
The HKLM registry hive
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The HKCU registry hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Hope that helps!
