is a must to follow proper procedures for handling computer equipment.

In this lesson, you will explore Microsoft system configuration utility which

allows you to set the programs that will run at startup and to edit configuration files.

What’s New

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

General

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

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.

Figure 1. General Tab

Table 2. Boot Tab of System Config Utility


Boot

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.

▪ 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.

5

Boot

▪ Base Video. Boots to the Windows graphical user interface in

minimal VGA mode.

▪ OS boot information. Shows driver names as drivers are being 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


Services

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). 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.

6


Figure 3. Services Tab

Table 4. Startup Tab of System Config Utility


Startup

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. 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.

15

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.
