If for some reason msconfig isn't there, you can copy it from a win98 machine as well. Just copy the program file over and put it in your windows directory (windows/system if it doesn't work) and ignore all those warning messages that come up. You'll then be able to use some of the features. But you should just have msconfig there (with added features win9x msconfig does not have).
