Read the Help on Startup folder to find out how to add/subtract programs.
MSConfig doesn't apply to W2K, since it's not a DOS-based operating system.
(All Windows up to WinME are actually versions of DOS.)

This ain't it, and doesn't have the varied MSconfig options.
But for straight startup programs control I like this best;

Bait for spammers:
root@localhost
postmaster@localhost
admin@localhost
abuse@localhost
postmaster@[127.0.0.1]

Remove "spamless" to email me.

Greetings --
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 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.

Hi,
You can just copy Msconfig.exe from a Windows XP computer and copy it to the
desktop of the Windows 2000 computer.
If that's not an option for you, try the steps in the following article:
