Question MSConfig???

Hey guys. I was wondering. Is there a feature of Windows 2000 Pro that serves the same purpose as MSConfig??? I really need this. :/ I have a bunch loading at startup that is really slowing down my bootup.

Thanks
Jason

Here"s where to actually find them in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Look for TweakUI if you want something to download that can do what you seek, It's from Microsofts site but not officialy supported, and I know you can actually get msconfig for w2k, search the forum here as there have been similar threads...

You can use the msconfig file from XP. Just copy it to your Win2k system that is what I did.

Go here for instructions:
