Article Takeaway: If you liked MSConfig.exe, you're going to love Windows Vista’s System Configuration utility.

Simple steps ...Start/Run? type "msconfig" and you are there!!!!!!!!!

If you've spent much time troubleshooting configuration errors in Windows XP, then you definitely have come to appreciate the System Configuration Utility or as it's more commonly known, MSConfig.exe. If so, you’re going to love Windows Vista’s System Configuration utility.

The new System Configuration utility sports a better organized and more concise user interface than its predecessor. And best of all, it now contains a Tools tab that makes it easy to access and run the operating system’s advanced diagnostic utilities. Let’s take a closer look.

Launching System ConfigurationOf course, just like in Windows XP, and Windows 98/ME before it, you can launch Windows Vista’s System Configuration utility by pressing [Windows] +R to access the Run dialog box, typing msconfig.exe in the Open box, and then clicking OK. However, it's a bit quicker to take advantage of the Vista Start Menu’s Instant Search feature: just press [Windows] and begin typing the word System. By the time you type sys, System Configuration should appear at the top of the results pane and you can immediately press [Enter]. Keep in mind that either way you launch System Configuration; you’ll first have to go through a UAC dialog box.

Once System Configuration launches, as shown in Figure A, you’ll discover several differences when compared to Windows XP’s version, which is shown in Figure B. To begin with, you’ll notice that the word Utility has been dropped from the name of the tool. You’ll also notice that the new version no longer displays the SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI tabs (These files no longer exist in the new Windows operating system.) and that the BOOT.INI tab is now named simply Boot. You’ll also notice a new tab titled Tools.
