11507	2001-04-18 12:12:00	I'd like to disable some programs from starting up with Windows 2000. About 30 different programs start up, and it takes a good 3 minutes to do that. In the Startup Menu under Start> Programs> Startup Menu, there's only a couple of programs there. I know there's a whole lot more somewhere else, but I don't know where I can find the real menu. I know in Windows 98 you can run msconfig and edit the startup items easily, but I don't know of anything like that for Win2K. Is it possible to do something like that? I'd like to know. Please help! Thanks in advance, Chris	Guest (0)

However you will then need to manually edit your registry. OR You could try this program: www.mlin.net OR Copy msconfig from a 98 system, just ignore any settings not applicable to 2k (not such a good idea, though it works)	Guest (0)
