In previous lesson, it’s all about safety procedure in how to become an
aspiring computer technician, you should be aware of all possible dangers in the
workplace. It is a must to follow proper procedures for handling computer equipment.
In this lesson, you will explore Microsoft system configuration utility which
allows you to set the programs that will run at startup and to edit configuration files.

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.

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.

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
Configuration utility and moved it into the Windows 8 Task Manager.
Startup 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.

What Is It
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:
19
o HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - this branch points to the part of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE appropriate for the current hardware configuration.
