Win2k Question...simple

[JokerF15]

is there a 'msconfig' type program for win2k?

Thanks.

there's nothing that specifically duplicates its functions. however, if you go to control panel->administrative tools->computer management, you can do a lot and get most of the information you may need.

Copy the msconfig file from a Win9x system to either the \winnt\system or \winnt\system32 directory of your Win2000 install (can't remember which works, so I've got a copy in both). You'll get about 3-4 error messages when you run it, but just click ok and you'll end up with the startup tab. Then it's just like Win9x, uncheck the boxes for stuff you don't want to run.

To manage the startup control there is a small utility made by a Mike Lin simply called Startup Control Panel.

Hey Olias, that app looks good, but will it work on Win2K?

 

[Olias]

Yep, that's what I use in W2k.

Alternatively just go edit the registry entries if you wanted to tinker with the startup programs

Yes, but that's not a program like msconfig!!!
