i'm messing around with the ftp server in win2k and was wondering how to let a friend check it out with internet explorer.

Thanks Ladi, works great.

Now, how the heck do you get programs not to start up? I see win2k dosent use msconfig.

In W2K all services have a setting controlling how they are started (i.e. manually, automatically or disabled). This setting can be changed through the registry.


1. Open your registry, and file the key below.

2. Listed under this key are subkeys representing the devices and services on the system.

3. Open the subkey, corresponding to the service you wish to change, and modify the value of 'Start' as per the table below:


Value Startup Mode
----- ------------
2 Automatic
3 Manual
4 Disabled


Registry Settings:
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services]
Value Name: Start
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)

It would be nice is someone would write a "msconfig" type of program for W2K instead of having to go to all this potentially risky trouble.

bah. just use the services control panel (now mmc snap-in):

right click on my computer (as administrator or member of administrator group), choose manage, down near the bottom of left pane, expand services and applications, then click on services.

right pane lists all the services. find the one you want to change, right click and choose properties, then in the startup options you can set it to me manual, automatic, or disabled.
