System Configuration Utility?

Hi,

I am a bit antiquated when it comes to OS's. I have always used Windows ME for many years, and am now retooling to Windows 2000.

In Windows ME, I can control what programs or apps. load or start at startup, by using "start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information ", then using System Configuration Utility, under the Tools button.

I can't find any thing like that in System Info. in Windows 2000. I have found a Task Manager, that just lets me stop proccesses. In "Control Panel/Admin. Tools/Comp. Managment/System info/Software Environment/Startup Programs" I found the things that do startup, but can't seem to find a way to disable certain items.

Can anyone help me with how to control what does startup and what doesn't?

Please help, and thanks for your time and effort,
Ken :cool:

Msconfig from WinXP: Ripped from WinXP, can be used in Win2k

There is a tab called Startup and allows you to uncheck items so that they don't start.

WOW, THAT WAS A FAST ANSWER.

I downloaded that msconfig file to my downloads. Can you tellme how to set it up? I am not very computer savy, and am afraid of screwing up my system.

Thanks again,
Ken

Just click on it and look in the startup tab.
