Windows 2000 does not have the MSCONFIG program.
You can use the Windows XP version of MSCONFIG.
- Copy the file msconfig.exe from the c:\windows\system folder to the Windows 2000 c:\winnt\system32 folder.
Download the msconfig.zip Windows XP version file from our site if you do not have it easily accessible, this version will work with windows 2000.
After you download this file, unzip it to the c:\winnt\system32 folder so you can use the Start/Run method to access it.
- Click | Start | Run | and type msconfig on the text box and click the OK button to start MSCONFIG
- ignore the error messages you get about not finding the following files
if you get them
- config.sys
- autoexec.bat
- win.ini
- system.ini
- Click the startup tab
- Check or Uncheck the check boxes of the programs you want to run or not run
It is best to write down which programs were checked so you can have a copy of them for later reference. Some of the startup entries are from anti-virus programs and must be re-checked after finishing any troubleshooting.
