For your information, "msconfig" does not exist under Win2k, i.e to disable programs from startup, the best way I know is to del some entries in the 'Run' key (using Regedit); for other tricks and command i'll dig a little to find you some.

Don't know about any websites, but:
 
tracert = tracert
nslookup = nslookup

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.

no no no, use the one from winxp. it supports some win2k-only features like services and stuff.

The Resource Kit helpfile has such a list. Search for "I want to use UNIX commands within Windows 2000"
 
(mk:@MSITStore:D:\Program%20Files\Resource%20Kit\w2rktool.chm::/topics/iw_unix.htm on my box)

Another handy UNIX feature that exists is file and directory name completion, it can be enabled using TweakUI
 
Makes me feel so much more at home
