A program that I use my self and that works great for getting rid of those programs that you don't want on your startup is called StartupCPL. Here is a link that you can get it from: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml. If that doesn't work just search google for StartupCPL. That should work for ya. Good Luck

Hi gardenair,
For some reason Microsoft left msconfig out of 2000. However, you can get the XP version at http://www.thetechguide.com/downloads.html (scroll down to the bottom of the page.)
After downloading, copy it into your c:\winnt\system32 folder (assuming 2000 is on drive c).
