Select Start >> click Run >> type Msconfig.exe to open System Configuration utility.
Msconfig.exe is a file that assists to edit and administer text configuration files like the win.ini and autoexec.bat. This is very much important for the stable and secure running of a computer and hence should not be terminated.
It is a very "user friendly" front end for editing system files such as win.ini and autoexec.bat. However, this file does not exist on Windows 2000 (needs to be copied to Windows 2000).
This tool lets you modify the system configuration through a process of elimination with check boxes thereby reducing the risk of typing errors that was previously associated with Notepad and System Configuration Editor. However, you should be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to change or restore settings by using System Configuration Utility.
