What Is It
The Microsoft System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) is a system utility

present in Microsoft Windows at startup to troubleshoot any issue or process. It can
be used to enable or disable any software, services, boot parameters, device drivers
and system controls. MSConfig is now known as System Configuration as its official
name in newer versions of Windows.
This boot configuration utility allows you to set the programs that will run at
startup and to edit configuration files. It also offers simplified control over Windows
Services. System Configuration Utility consists of five functional tabs such as
General, Boot, Services, StartUp and Tools. The succeeding table describes the use
and functionality of each tab:
Table 1. General Tab of System Config Utility

Tab Function and Description
The general tab is the default tab in the System configuration and
shows how the computer will start, by default Normal startup should
be selected.
List of choices for startup configuration:

 Normal Startup. Use this mode to start Windows after you are
General
done using the other two modes to troubleshoot the problem.
 Diagnostic Startup. This mode can help rule out basic Windows
files as the problem.
 Selective Settings. Starts Windows with basic services and
drivers and the other services and startup programs that you
select.

TLE - ICT- LM - Computer Hardware Servicing - Grade 10. 1st ed. 2014
Figure 1. General Tab
Table 2. Boot Tab of System Config Utility

This tab allows you to make the same adjustments you can make in
the Windows boot.ini file without having to edit the file. It shows
configuration options for the operating system and advanced
debugging settings, including the following:
 Safe boot (Minimal): Boots the Windows graphics user

interface in safe mode running only critical system services.
 Safe Boot (Alternate Shell): Boots the Windows Command
Prompt in safe mode running only critical system services.
Boot  Safe Boot (Active Directory Repair): Boots the Windows
graphical user interface in safe mode running critical system
services and Active Directory.
 Safe boot (Network): Boots the Windows graphical user
interface in safe mode running only critical system services.
 No GUI boot. Does not display Windows splash screen when
booting.
 Boot Log. Stores all information from the boot process in the
file %SystemRoot% Ntbtlog.txt.
9
 Base Video. Boots to the Windows graphical user interface in
minimal VGA mode.
 OS boot information. Shows driver names as drivers are being
Boot loaded during the boot process.
 Make all boot settings permanent. Does not track changes made in
System Configuration. Options can be changed later using System
Configuration, but must be changed manually.
Figure 2. Boot Tab
Table 3. Services Tab of System Config Utility

The Services tab allows you to enable or disable any of the Microsoft
Windows services or other program services running on the computer. It
lists all the services that start when the computer boots, along with their
status (Running or Stopped).
Services
Warning:
Disabling services that normally run at boot time might cause some
programs to malfunction or result in system instability. Selecting Disable
all will not disable some secure Microsoft services required for the
operating system to start.

Figure 3. Services Tab
Table 4. Startup Tab of System Config Utility

The Startup tab is one of the most frequent reasons most Windows users
enter the System Configuration utility. These startup programs are often
one of the biggest causes for a computer to startup and run slow.
Windows 8 Microsoft has removed this Startup feature in the System
Configuration utility and moved it into the Windows 8 Task Manager.
Startup Uncheck any program that you want to disable from starting up each
time.
Note:
Disabling applications that normally run at boot time might result in
related applications starting more slowly or not running as expected.

What Is It
Windows Registry
 It is a hierarchical database that stores low-level settings for the Microsoft

Windows operating system and for applications that opt to use the registry.
 In other words, the registry or Windows Registry contains information,

settings, options, and other values for programs and hardware installed on all
versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
 The Windows Registry, usually referred to as "the registry," is a collection of

databases of configuration settings in Microsoft Windows operating systems .
 In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the Registry is stored in several Hives,
located in the following path: \windows\system32\config and \Documents and
Settings\ {username} folders.
Structure of the Registry Editor System
1. The Registry has a hierarchical structure, like the directories on your hard disk.
Each branch (denoted by a folder icon in the Registry Editor, see below) is called
a key. Each key can contain other keys, as well as Values. Each value contains
the actual information stored in the Registry. There are three types of values:
String, Binary, and DWORD - the use of these depends upon the context.
2. There are six main branches (five in Windows 2000 and Windows XP), each
containing a specific portion of the information stored in the Registry. They are as
follows:
o HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - this branch contains all of your file types as well

as OLE information for all your OLE-aware applications.
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER - this branch points to the part of HKEY_USERS

appropriate for the current user.
o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - this branch contains information about all of the

hardware and software installed in your computer. Since you can specify
multiple hardware configurations, the current hardware configuration is
specified in HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG.
o HKEY_USERS - this branch contains certain preferences (such as colors and

control panel settings) for each of the users of the computer. In Windows
95/98/Me, the default branch here contains the currently-logged in user. In
Windows 2000/XP, the default branch here contains a template to be used for
newly-added users.
19
o HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - this branch points to the part of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE appropriate for the current hardware configuration.
o HKEY_DYN_DATA (Windows 95/98/Me only) - this branch points to the part

of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, for use with Windows' Plug-&-Play subsystem.

If you are experiencing problems when running Microsoft DirectX

applications, the DirectX Diagnostic Tool can help you find the source of the trouble
such as incorrect versions of DirectX components, lack of hardware acceleration,
devices that are not connected and unsigned drivers.
