Keep your "shift" key pressed for a couple of seconds after you insert your CD. This wont allow autorun. 8)

Alt 1. You can copy msconfig from WinXP or grab it from http://www.perfectdrivers.com/howto/msconfig.html - it will work in 2000 also.

Alt 2. Get Startup Control Panel from http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml and use it as an alternative. There are also many others, but I recommend this...

Alt 3. Manually set the software using method suggested above by s18000rpm
