    Now How do I disable or enable startup items.

    Startup control
    <http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml>

    This gives simple and full control of what starts at boot up.

    After install there will be a Startup icon in control panel.

    Why this over Msconfig? Msconfig only allows unchecking/disabling of items. Startup Control panel allows deleting items or moving from startup to run as a service etc.

    Works in all windows versions, give more and better control.

    There is a msconfig for 2K but I don't have a link to it handy right now. But if you use SpyBot Search and Destroy (and you should) you can disable programs from starting in it.
