Please, does someone know what the equivalent, if any, of the msconfig
command of Win98 is.
Thanks a lot!!!

There isn't one, probably because this version of Windows is for "grown
ups".

Here's how MS describes msconfig:
> This tool permits you to modify the system configuration through a process of
> elimination with check boxes, reducing the risk of typing errors previously
> associated with Notepad and System Configuration Editor

If you're trying to get into what runs on startup, you have to check the
various places -- run key, services, Startup folder -- because the OS
doesn't lump them all into one unhappy bundle.

There are tools to back up the registry, although you can recover much
more readily in W2K than in NT.

What are you trying to do, exactly?

Just use the msconfig.exe file from a Win98 installation on your Win2K box.
Or use Startup Manager: http://www.delphifreestuff.com/
