You are correct, there is no msconfig in 2000. However you can download a nice little app called Startup Control which does the same job and use it to control application startup. Once installed, you can find it in your control panel (it's name will be simply "Startup") NOTE: This doesn't affect services....if it's a service you want to stop you'll have to go into your Computer Management MMC and stop it there (under Services)
