[999Dom999]

What is the 2000 equilvalent of this, I need to be able to edit what starts up in 2000, is there a 2000 command for this??

If you can get hold of XP version - that works on 2000 also. Or there are other utilities - Startup Cop (use Google to find this) and Startup Manager (

to name a couple of freebies.

do a search on google for windowss 2000 msconfig and you should be able to find the XP version.

Hi 999
W2k has a full service tools to able you to do what you want.
But use a little gem of a programme called RegCleaner.
It does what you want and a lot more.
To download it free go to:

Good luck

I just edit startup folder and registry manually.
The following key is where most of your programs are set to start. Just make sure you don't delete something you need!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Try this link:

The MSCONFIG.exe is about halfway down the page and easy to install.

That's odd. Going to start --> run and typing msconfig works fine for me in W2K.

did you upgrade from 98?

Yep I upgraded from win98, thx for all the help everyone, I have got it and stopped the hundreds of useless time consuming programs from loading everytime I boot up
