how do I...

need to access the run panel to use msconfig

how doi bring up the run box (to type in "msconfig")?

Is there a command runnable from the command prompt to do these tasks?..if so-what would be its syntax?

tx

on my other computers (with xp): "run" is listed on the panel openable from the start box..not so with this computer.
