I want this MSCONFIG for WIN2000!
I know it's included in XP and 98/ME. Has anybody found it for 2000?
I would so like to see what is all getting loaded at startup. My Dual MP1900 with a gig of DDR and SCSI Cheetah HDs, should not boot so slow.
I guess nothing's free, you'll pay for it one way or the other :-(

The best way to get rid of Microsoft Messenger is the rename the "messenger" directory (underneath c:\windows) to "MessengerOFF".
This way, it's still there (in case you ever need it
) but it won't automatically start.

I wouldn't go renaming/deleting directories. You can get into a world of trouble doing that. Dangling pointers and broken links to DLL's. Also, Windows Messenger is not the same as MSN Messenger. With popups that are broadcast with Windows Messenger, you'll just get a simple window that randomly appears on your screen while you're connected to the internet. Here's the way to disable Windows Messenger in Win2000 and XP. For a full explination use the link in my prior response.
Windows 2000:
Click: Start/Settings/Control Panel
Open: Administrative Tools
Open: Services
Open: 'Messenger' Service
Click: Stop button
Change 'Startup Type' to DISABLE
Click OK to close everything
Windows XP:
Right-click: 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage'
Open: Services and Applications
Open: Services
Open: 'Messenger' Service
Click: Stop button
Change 'Startup Type' to DISABLE
Click OK to close everything
Windows 2000:
Click: Start/Settings/Control Panel
Open: Administrative Tools
Open: Services
Open: 'Messenger' Service
Click: Stop button
Change 'Startup Type' to DISABLE
Click OK to close everything
Windows XP:
Right-click: 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage'
Open: Services and Applications
Open: Services
Open: 'Messenger' Service
Click: Stop button
Change 'Startup Type' to DISABLE
Click OK to close everything
