Can't find MSCONFIG.exe

[Odis]

I am not use to working on XP, so when I tried to go to Start, Run, Msconfig, it could not find the program. I then did a search for msconfig.exe and it could not find the program. I searched the XP Pro forum and it looks like it is there for me to run. Why isn't it on the PC?

Not here? \WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries\msconfig.exe

(have you got explorer set to view system files?)

You also need to logged in as computer administrator for it to function.

Default profile for a user SHOULD be an administration one, so that shouldn't be a problem. It's likely the file isn't in directory specified in the PATH, so a simple:

dir msconfig.* /s

from c:\ will help you find it.

Default profile for a member of Group User is a limited account. It is not an Administrator account. It not only SHOULD be this way, but it is this way.

MSCONFIG is found in the directory as Wolluf specified.
