Step 1: download msconfig.exe for Windows XP (or a zip file containing it). 
Step 2: place msconfig.exe in the folder X:\WINNT\system32\ (where X: is the system 
drive  where you have Win2k installed)
Step 3: click Start -> Run -> msconfig
Step 4: click startup tab, uncheck the boxes next to the  programs you don't want 
(be careful not to stop something required by the system), click ok
Step 5: reboot. After the system comes back, a  message will appear "informing" you 
of what you just did. Check the box not to have this message in the future, click 
ok.
