Sorry DosFreak. I'm brand new to forums and I didn't think of that. I'm not sure how to post the link so I've pasted the instructions. Hope that makes up for it. To delete the Recovery Console 1.Restart your computer. 2.Double-click My Computer, and then double-click the hard drive on which you installed the Recovery Console. 3.On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. 4.Click the View tab. 5.Click Show hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK. 6.At the root directory, delete the \Cmdcons folder. 7.At the root directory, delete the file Cmldr. 8.At the root directory, right-click the Boot.ini file and then click Properties. 9.Clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK. 10.Open Boot.ini in Notepad, and remove the entry for the Recovery Console. It will look similar to this: C:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows 2000 Recovery Console" /cmdcons 11.Save the file and close it.

For anyone else interested, I found instructions on how to remove the recovery console at the Microsoft Knowledge Base. It's a very simple procedure.

One way to do it is to install the version of msconfig from Win ME. Simply copy it to the winnt directory of your Win 2K machine and reboot. It works perfectly under Win 2K Professional.

msconfig does not come as part of Win 2K but the version that comes from Win ME works perfectly. Copy it to the winnt directory and reboot. Hope that helps.

Hi I'm new to your forms and need some help. Does anybody know how to remove the recovery console from Win 2K Professional? Thanks in advance
