several ways...go to run and type msconfig and click on the starup tab...or use the registry..go to run..type regedit and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

the msconfig is better...since it only stops it..as the registry you delete the key

If its not there...then you either corrupted it...deleted it...you can put it back if you have someone send you the msconfig.exe and put it back in the C:\Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries but someone posted a link that will help you

msconfig definitely does NOT exist under Windows 2000.
the default windows directory under 2000 is /winnt and not /windows, and the folder /pchealth does not exist at all (2000 is not ME or XP rubbish).
I think "jroc" has mixed things a little bit.

You can download msconfig from M/$ it will then work in Windows 2000.

I put it in the partition where Windows 2000 is installed and it works a treat.
