For no apparent reason msconfig was not included in windows 2000 but it was included in windows xp There is an alternative to using msconfig but it is a little risky since it deals with changing things in the registry.

You could either use the msconfig that was included in the windows 98 distribution or you could use the one that was included in the windows xp distribution.

You could download msconfig from the following website.

http://www.techadvice.com/files/temp/msconfig.exe

it will give you some (4 errors in my case) error messages when you first run it which could safely be ignored From there you will be able to select which programs you want at startup just like it was possible in windows 98.

I hope this helped :o)
