how can i manually get into the startup string using run
on the start menu so that i can delete any of the files
that startup automatically when win2000 is rebooted. I've
done this before but I forgot the command.

You mean the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

that you can inspect with regedit.exe?
 
Alternatively, you can use MSConfig tool (Start run MSConfig) to setup all
start up options
From boot.ini to Run in Win.ini to Run and RunOnce registry keys ..etc
the cool thing about the tool is that it allows you to experiment, and
changes will not take affect until you decide you want to take them

Hope this helps

But since MSConfig is not included with Windows 2000, you'll have to gat a
copy from an XP system or use something else. I recommend Mike Lin's
Startup Control Panel, available from http://mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml.
