Hi Everyone: Can someone tell me 1

Hi Everyone:

Can someone tell me what happen to MSCONFIG in Windows 2000? Is there a new name for it, or a new way to access it?

Thanks a lot
Trudye

I found this on the web but have not tried it mtself yet.

Many people ask about MSCONFIG in win 2K and here's a suggestion:
Go to

http://www.withoutlimitations.com/stuff/msconfig.exe

and the download will start automatically. Copy the file into System32 and you're ready to run MSCONFIG just as you did under Win 98 and ME.

Thanks ff1048 for responding. I tried to bring the page up that you suggested but received the msg "Unable to contact server" and the "This page cannot be displayed" standard.

Is there another URL I should try?

Trudye:
There isn't too much info on this and you are correct that link is now down . I did find these suggestions as to apps:

There are a number of 3rd party apps.
StartupCPL

Startup Cop
However, you can also use the Win98 Msconfig. Just ignore the errors

If you don't want to mess with 3rd party apps, I found a Win2000 friendly version of MSCONFIG.EXE at this site:

It's right around the middle of the page. After you've downloaded it, unzip and copy it to C:\windows\system32. I've got it running for me with no problems.

You are a life saver, I see why you are a manager of IT.

Thanks again

No problem! Actually, THANK YOU, as I would never have bothered trying to see if this would work unless you had asked...;-)
