This provides three options for a standard startup (as selected), a diagnostic startup, and selective startup. The first tab included is that of the general tab. Let’s consider these tabs in some more detail here.

You will note that this small window includes the following five tabs: general, boot, services, start-up, and tools. Once this has been input the Windows 7 system configuration tool will open in a small window. Then, from here you should enter the run command msconfig.exe. As such, to open it you will need to make use of a run command to open Run press the Window key and R. There are no clear desktop shortcuts to the Windows 7 system configuration tool, or on the start-menu. Although it may be mistaken as a startup management program, it is in fact a system configuration tool that may help in finding and isolating issues that are preventing Windows from starting as it should. In fact, there are some hidden gems such as the mysterious Windows system configuration tool which Windows 7 and other previous Windows OS versions have included. Windows 7 has a variety of system tools included with it, however not all are listed on the start menu.
