what is MSCONFIG?

Answer Posted / lloyd

MSConfig, or Microsoft System Configuration Utility, (or
simply System Configuration in Windows Vista) is a utility
to troubleshoot the Windows startup process. It is bundled
with all Microsoft Windows operating systems since Windows
98 except Windows 2000. Windows 95 and Windows 2000 users
can download the utility as well, although it was not
designed for them. MSConfig modifies which programs run at
startup, edits certain configuration files, and simplifies
controls over Windows services. As part of the base Windows
install, MSConfig has commonly not been linked to in the
Start Menu or Control Panel, but is accessible by using the
Run dialog to launch 'msconfig' on any system on which the
user has administrator access.

Prior to Windows Vista, files that can be edited through
MSConfig include AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI,
SYSTEM.INI on Windows 9x systems, and WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI
and BOOT.INI on Windows NT systems prior to Windows Vista.
The chief benefit to using MSConfig to edit these files is
that it provides a simplified GUI to manipulate sections of
those files and the Windows registry tree pertaining to the
Windows boot sequence. Using MSConfig, Windows can also be
configured to perform a diagnostic startup (load a minimum
set of drivers, programs and services).
