Stop specifice programs from starting at boot up

[Andy]

I used to use the command msconfig in 98 to take out
programs from the start up. I am a bit lost with 2000.
Is there a feature in 2000 that can take programs out of
the start up?

There is no msconfig in Windows 2000. You can disable the startups in
the programs themselves, look in the programs options or prefference
menus. You can also disable them through the rigistry run keys. Or you
can download the XP msconfig and it will work with Windows 2000, just
search the net for "msconfig" and you will find a download location,
it's all over the place. Or you can use a third party startup manager
like CodeStuff Starter, Startup cop, etc.

Win98 and WinXp have MSCONFIG, but Win2k does not... be VERY
CAREFUL what you disable, or your computer may not run at all
This program does that http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
