Being a normal Windows 7 user it’s not possible for all of us to be aware of all the system files and processes. The list is so huge that one can hardly remember the name, and even if you somehow manage to remember, sometimes you may get confused.

I am sure that you must have heard of the msconfig.exe file in Windows. Well, if you haven’t, I suppose you should, since it provides you a wide range of system configuration, which provides you an opportunity to understand your system in a much better manner.

So, toady we will mention you what all you can get by just typing msconfig.exe on the “Start button” or “command prompt”.

Msconfig.exe file basically enables the system configuration window. In the system configuration window you can perform different types of system operation. Some of them are:

General System Configuration

Here you can enable/disable general system configuration, which mainly includes:

• Normal startup: it will include all the system drivers and services, and generally turn your system slow during the boot period.
• Diagnostic startup: it includes the basic drivers and services only, and may result in the failure of initialization of some the important drivers.
• Selective startup: it is supposed to be the default startup procedure in windows and only carries system services and startup items.

Boot System Configuration

Through this window you can configure the boot options of your system. As shown in the figure below, it consists of two options:

• Default boot configuration: this is the default setting of any windows system, and will boot the system in normal mode.
• Safe boot: boots the system in safe mode, and can be used to made unauthorized access to the system.

Service System Configuration

Here you can configure all the services that are associated with your system. As a matter of fact, the list is so long that it becomes very tedious to figure out the entire services, but it makes your system fast at the same time if properly configured. In fact, it takes a major amount of time during your system startup, and plays an important role as well.

Startup System Configuration

Through this window you can get to know all the different types of services which get’s initialized during the system startup. Whenever, you install a new application in your system, it adds itself to the startup services, although it’s not required, making your system startup slow. In fact, if you feel that your system is taking more startup time than ever before, maybe you should run a check on the startup item of your system.

Tool System Configuration

It mainly provides you a fair idea of all the system tools associated with your system. You can obtain almost any information from this window. However, you can can’t enable or disable it, since they come under the default tools of the system. Meanwhile, if you want to know, say the system summary of your system, you can easily get it from here.
