108101 2002-12-22 00:49:00 What is the windows2000 command to control all the rubbish that starts up automaticly?

I'm used to 98 where i run msconfig and hit the start up tab, and then untick all the rubbish. There must be a similar trick with W2000?

108102 2002-12-22 00:55:00 Hey

Have you tried using MSCONFIG from Start > Run in the Windows 2000 machine?? - as my friend who has it says that it works fine for him (either that or he's tinkered with his machine a bit more than I think)

Otherwise try RegCleaner (www.vtoy.fi) and click on the startup tab - that does exactly the same as MSCONFIG - requests the information from the registry and let's you sort it out

108103 2002-12-22 00:59:00 Maybe i typed msconfig wrong.. but i'm sure it gave no responce.
I'll reply a bit later when i'm on the said 2000 machine.

108104 2002-12-22 03:11:00 No, MSConfig has never been there on any 2K machine that I've used.

I would suggest Super Rabbit Magic Set (http://www.superrsoft.com) and use the "Autorun" feature in the program.

Small download, but a very handy tool to have for clearing out startup items!

Merry Christmas

108105 2002-12-22 03:15:00 That's strange and kinda stupid...
Having MSConfig with Win98 and ME but not putting it with XP

hmm... the joys of MS Products

108106 2002-12-22 03:16:00 Whoops... That should've been "and not putting it with 2000"
Although - does anyone know if it's included with XP?

CyberChuck

It sure is included with XP, the same program but it has a few extra bits that make it a little easier to use

Are you referring to removing unnecessary startup items or unnecessary stuff in general??
