Im trying to eliminate some annoying startup items that I have. The startup folder never has the ones u want

I used to know how, and im digging like crazy in my w2k books, but no luck.

Thanks in advance....

As far as I know MSCONFIG does not exist in 2000. However it does in XP. So all I did was copy my buddies MSCONFIG file from XP into my system folder, and everything is fine. I run Win2k server and I have had no problem with this trick.

it's the second one down, the first is the older one.

that's a cool tip. I didn't realize the same one would work.

I don't mean to jump in on this one, but here's a thanks from me for the heads up

Also, try Startup Cop. Very good app. I'm sure you can get it at www.download.com
