I know in windows 98 msconfig enables you to alter system startup functions ....

Could anyone please tell me if there is an equivalent facility availble in Windows 2000 ?

Many Thanks ......

This was not included with W2K but was with WXP. You could copy the msconfig.exe and msconfig.chm from WXP and copy to W2K.

Hope this helps...

msconfig should go into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

I believe they should be as follows:

%SystemRoot%\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries\msconfig.ex e and %SystemRoot%\Help\msconfig.chm

I will be able to confirm this later this evening though...

Dan, in Windows 2000, I don't believe there is a C:\Windows. Shouldn't it be C:\WINNT?
