Sorry if this has been asked before done a quick search and couldn't find anything.

I know on mindows 98 you can edit options for stratup, e.g. what programs you want to start etc by running a command, I think its msstartup.

Can anyone tell me how to edit such options on win2000 and XP?

Thanks

It's msconfig you're thinking of.
You can download it for 2000, google for it - I don't have the link handy.

It (msconfig) was never included with Win2k for some reason. But it runs fine on it, was just using it a few minutes ago actually.
