quick question

[Franchise]

This is purdy stupid....but, on all of Windows except for 2000, when you need to change what programs windows startup, you just go to start, run and type "msconfig"...and u can alter what you want to start up....my question is, in windows 2000, what is the command you run to be able to adjust what windows starts up? My Dads computer runs 2000, and it starts up a shit ton of stuff and take 20 min 2 get all loaded up.....any clue anyone, thanks in advance!

Here`s a cut and paste answer.


Disabling startup programs within Windows 2000 isn't nearly as simple as it is in Windows 9x/Me, where you can manage that task from within the System Information program. The only way to disable startup items that aren't in your Startup folder is to open up Regedit and browse to [HLKM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN]. From there, you can manually delete the values, which are starting the unwanted applications. We would recommend that you export the values that you intend to delete, however, just in case you make an error.
