I want to disable some start up programs, but they are not in Start up Folder, so, and usually in Win98 I just enter the MSCONFIG, and uncheck them, but in Win2K, MSCONFIG doesn't work. What do I do?

Win2K does NOT have MSCONFIG, as I mentioned above, just let you know.

Nobody will stop you from copying MSconfig from a W98 system into your W2k. That's what I did... and it works!

To disable startup items through the registry.

*** Backup your registry before you start ***
Click Start, Run
Type "scanreg /backup" without the quotes


*** Do NOT change anything you do not understand ***

Click Start, Run
Type Regedit

On the left side of the screen go to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Be sure to click on the "Run" folder, this will update the right
side of the screen.

Everything on the right side of the screen is a program that starts
when Windows does

Delete ONLY the program you want to stop from running.


*** To RESTORE your registry (in case of an accident) ***
Click Start, Run
Type "scanreg /restore" without the quotes
