Anton,

The MSconfig utility is incorporated into Windows to allow monitoring and configuration changes in the Windows and Startup files.

It is not something you want to play with until you understand it. What I was referring to earlier in the post is the Startup file which you can access by runing MsConfig. When you open the startup file, you will see all processes (applications) which are running when your system boots up. This is a great tool when troubleshooting the system because you can “uncheck” anything listed and have the system startup without it to see if it is a problem. Another use, would be to stop all non-essential programs from loading on startup. This reduces startup time.
There are other uses of the MsConfig, but be careful using it!
