What Is It
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:
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.

▪ 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.
TLE - ICT- LM - Computer Hardware Servicing - Grade 10. 1st ed. 2014
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.

TLE - ICT- LM - Computer Hardware Servicing - Grade 10. 1st ed. 2014
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
Startup
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.

Windows Registry
▪ 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.
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:
14
o HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - this branch points to the part of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE appropriate for the current hardware configuration.
