Msconfig wasn’t included in Windows 2000 or Windows NT. That leaves you with two options.

The first is to simply copy Msconfig.exe from one of your other computers and install it on your computer that’s running Windows 2000. This may be easier for you than having to trudge through the Registry looking to and fro for Startup entries. If you use the Msconfig.exe from WinXP, you shouldn’t have any trouble. Copy the file to your WINNT/SYSTEM32 folder. Using versions from Windows 98/Me will work in the same fashion, but you’ll see some error messages that you can safely ignore.

As an alternative, you may wish to use one of the many utilities available for customizing your startup options. Try Mike Lin’s Startup Control Panel, available at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml. Startup Control Panel is free and offers you a bevy of choices in configuring program startup. It is compatible with all versions of Windows from Windows 95 on.
