my programs arent starting up when i startup windows2000.
i just got it today. i got a joystick program and it use
to startup auto when i installed it on win98. now it wont
show up on 2000! i tried to go to msconfig but i guess it
has no msconfig on win2000! help!!!
 
Add a shortcut to;
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
 
why the heck do i gotta add a shrtcut? add details man,
not just make a shortcut. and what else? that cant be all,
and where do i put the shortcut.

A shortcut placed in the directories I mention will execute at logon. Either
for all users or only for the logged on user specified. %username% = the
username you use to logon with.
