but not on win2k.

also there's msinfo32.exe command, but it only allows to view startup programs.

you could just hit crtl alt delete and end all the processes besides explorer, if you have XP or similar

It works fine on win2k. It is just not available by default. You can download it from the web and it will work perfectly.

For those who care: In Windows 98/98Se/ME type in the Run path "system information" to get to the ginormous "Help and Support" area > Click the Tools drop-down menu and click "System Configuration Utility". This gives you the set of tabs that was MSConfig in Win95.

So far in ME this is the only way I know to get there. (Well, it's under Start/Program Files/Accessories/System Tools also...)

In Win 98/ME the system information utility (MSINFO32.EXE) has menu link (under tools) to a system config utility. One panel in this lets you choose which programs run on startup.
