[smiles0160 0]

I recently upgraded my system to windows 2000 professional from windows me. Is there any way i can get the my pictures screen saver to work with this os? Also, how do i use the selective startup on 2000 in order to disable some programs from running on startup? thanks in advance.

For selective startup you may want to use msconfig.exe.

There is a W2K compatible version floating around (can't remember where to dl, likely from Microsoft site).

Edit:

There is a story here:

Download Xteq X-Setup (freeware even). It will give you easy control of startup, shutdown and a bunch of other w2k processes and programs.
