I'm not using Win2k anymore....I'm using XP now...but here's what I used in place of msconfig when I had 2K and it worked really well: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
And here's some info on SFC in Win 2k: Here is the information about how to use the system file checker in Win2k, according to the help menu. You enter these commands in the dos box and then might have to reboot and have your installation disk on hand in case Win2k has to retrieve files. System File Checker System File Checker (sfc.exe) is a command line utility that scans and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer. If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file. Syntax: sfc [/scannow] [/scanonce] [/scanboot] [/cancel] [/quiet] [/enable] [/purgecache] [/cachesize=x] Parameters: /scannow Scans all protected system files immediately. /scanonce Scans all protected system files once. /scanboot Scans all protected system files every time the computer is restarted. /cancel Cancels all pending scans of protected system files. /quiet Replaces all incorrect file versions without prompting the user. /enable Returns Windows File Protection to default operation, prompting the user to restore protected system files when files with incorrect versions are detected. /purgecache Purges the Windows File Protection file cache and scans all protected system files immediately. /cachesize=x Sets the size, in MB, of the Windows File Protection file cache. Notes a.. You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run System File Checker. b.. If the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder becomes corrupt or unusable, use Sfc /scannow, Sfc /scanonce, or Sfc /scanboot to repair the contents of the Dllcache directory.
