Explanation

msconfig.exe (System Configuration) allows the technician to disable the driver or its associated service from loading at startup. By unchecking the service or startup item and rebooting into a state where the driver is not loaded, the technician can then uninstall it. msinfo32.exe only displays system information, dxdiag.exe is a DirectX diagnostic tool, and regedit.exe edits the registry but does not directly manage which services/drivers load at startup as conveniently as msconfig.
