    Msconfi is not available in win 2000, however there is a neat little program that will do much the same.

    A bit of documentation is here

    And the program can be downloaded from here

    The second link will also give you a screen shot of the actual program.

    It's much like the start up tab in win 98

    You have some options

    a) Kill the processes by finding that process in the task manager. To invoke Task Manager.... Start -> Run -> taskman. This will remove that process till you boot the machine

    b) Uninstall the programm if you dont need it anymore.

    c) See if the shortcut has been placed in the Start->All Programs->Startup menu. Remove unwanted programs from there

    d) <Use with care> Modify the registry.

    Start->Run-> regedit

    Expand and find and remove unwanted process entries from the following registry keys. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
