How do I stop certain programs from running on boot up.
I know how to do it in Win95,98,ME and XP, but I can't
seem to find it in Win 2k Pro.

Thanks for the help.

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.
 
Thanks for the help. I can't beleive I have to go into the
registry and delete the value. They could have made it
easier, like in the syatem config utility.

Download Msconfig for win2k. It works just the same as it does in the
other versions. Google is your friend.
