What is the option to set in sql2k so that the transaction logs get truncated automatically?
And also should I set the auto shrink check box checked in options of the database properties?
Thanks

sounds like you recovery mode: simple
I am not a fan of auto_shrink, since I think you will invariable want to grow again.

Set the database Recovery Model to SIMPLE (rather than FULL or BULK LOGGED)

Personally I would turn OFF all the "Auto" switches - otherwise there is a risk that they kick in when the server is busy. Better to have them built in to your scheduled maintenance routines - i.e. running at a quiet time
