Sounds like your looking for the msconfig program. Open Windows, click on Start>Run> and type in> msconfig and hit enter.... a window should appear.... look on the Startup tab towards the far right. Hope this helps.

jblalock / pcglitch ;

msconfig does not ship with Windows 2K.

However you can download a W2K version here:

Please let me know if the suggestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.
Sometimes you're the windshield... Sometimes you're the bug.

Ahhhh, Thanks for the interesting info Eguy. Been awhile, maybe too long since I been in a W2k system.

It is a EULA violation to use XP's MSCONFIG.EXE on a Win2k machine.

There are freeware, and quite frankly better, alternatives. Here are two I like:
