Hey guys, does Win2000 use the msconfig command? It’s not working here. Is there a safe alternative to modifying the startup programs?

Thanks! :tie:

Good question, I’m using 2000 also, and had this problem before. I’ll look around.

you can download it, search google for “msconfig.exe” and go with the first link. It’s a copy of windows XP’s, it works perfectly on 2000

msconfig was left out of win2k. WinXP’s works with win2k, or you can D/L the win2k resource kit from Microsoft and use the .vbs scripts there if you want. =)
