How do I get into the start up tab for Windows 2000 pro.?
You can't.
msconfig dosn't work like it does on win 98
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 Win95/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.
