Solve : Windows 2000 startup list?

Answer» <html><body><p>My friend just installed Win2000 and can't access his startup program <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/list-11333" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIST">LIST</a> to modify/delete unwanted programs that start with Windows 2000. He's tried running msconfig from the run command line and gets an error message-unavailable.<br/><br/>Any help appreciated!<strong>msconfig</strong> is not a valid command for Win2k. <a href="http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_d4191.html">CClearner</a> can access startup programs.You can also download a msconfig from the net if you wish.CB:<br/><br/>He will have to edit the registry:<br/><br/>1. Start &gt; Run<br/>2. Type REGEDIT<br/>3. Browse to the following keys and remove any programs that are not wanted as startup programs:<br/><br/>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run<br/><br/>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce<br/><br/>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunonceEx<br/><br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run<br/><br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce<br/><br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunonceEx<br/><br/>HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run<br/><br/>HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce<br/><br/>HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunonceEx<br/><br/>There are other keys where startup programs may be launched, but this is a good starting place.<br/><br/><strong>IMPORTANT: </strong>Make sure he backs up the entire registry, or at least backs up any keys before he deletes them. To back up the full registry: In Regedit, select File &gt; Export and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/save-637275" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SAVE">SAVE</a> the registry backup to a secure folder on the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hard-1015537" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HARD">HARD</a> drive. <br/><br/>Best regards,<br/>Doc<br/><br/><br/>Hey Doc, you should look at Autoruns from<br/><a href="http://www.sysinternals.com">http://www.sysinternals.com</a><br/>It's quite an eye opener.You can find the original msconfig for Windows 2000 on the 'net if you look, but you can also use the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/one-241053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ONE">ONE</a> from XP<br/><br/><a href="http://www.thetechguide.com/downloads.html">XPMSCONFIG.ZIP</a><br/><br/>Had a look at <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/autoruns.html">AutoRuns</a> after Fed's post. That <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/looks-1079190" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOKS">LOOKS</a> even better.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html">Process Explorer</a> is good too.<br/> <br/><br/>Mac, I think if you have Autoruns &amp; Procexp in the same directory they will 'link' to each other so they jump from one to another.<br/>I'll check it out myself one of these days.</p></body></html>
