I have a question about Things that slow down system bootup:

Hi- I've tried using msconfig from win 98 to speed up initial boot and eliminate background clutter, but it doesn't show even half of the processes (programs?) that show up in the win 2k task manager at all times. Can anyone tell me how to both eliminate unwanted programs from startup (already set services to manual), and stop unnecessary programs/processes (whatever) from running in the background? Hope I'm making sense.... :) Thanks.

Also, you may wish to perform a search in the Win2K Forum for information on problems 
before posting your question. I am sure it will save you time and the frustration 
of waiting for an answer. Another good place to search is Google. The MSDONFIG problem 
(this one has been answered by Curt R many times) and RESTORE THUMBNAIL VIEW are 
very popular problems that are asked frequently. 

Good Luck

Try the Win2K version of msconfig available from www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Msconfig.htm. (I learnt of this source from Charles Wright's column in the Green Guide of the Melbourne, Australia newspaper "The Age" 15 May 2002)
