Hello,

I can't get msconfig to run on a new install of WIN2k Pro. Everything else
is OK. The error message reports that the file/command is corrupt or
missing. Ideas on a fix???

Thanks,
 
There is no msconfig in Windows 2000. Natively you can;
Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP to the "windows" directory

Thanks for the fast response! I just assumed that WIN2k would be like '98,
ME and XP. I've never used 2k before, so my learning curve is likely to be
somewhat high. Is there a 2K tips/tweaks resource that you can link me
to???

Thanks again,
 
These should get you started.
