Editing startup files on Win 2k

[icthus13]

So I installed windows 2000 on my parents computer last summer, since they were still running 98SE. That obviously couldn't stand. So when I go home for a few days this christmas, I notice that the computer takes 3-4 times as long to boot as before, because my father installed all sorts of programs that load at boot, making it slooooow. So I think this will be easy to fix, and go down to the start menu > run and type "msconfig" just like i would on my XP machine or their old win 98. But nothing happens. So the question is, how do I edit the startup files on windows 2000?

It works in 98SE and XP, and apparently 2003, but I can't get it to work in windows 2000, and that's not just my parent's machine. I just tried it on the little brother's and nothing there, either.

You have to download the msconfig from Windows XP:
