Explanation

The Startup tab in MSCONFIG (System Configuration) displays all programs configured to launch automatically when Windows starts. A large number of startup programs is one of the most common causes of slow boot times. By reviewing and disabling unnecessary startup entries, the administrator can both diagnose the problem and reduce boot time. The Boot tab (D) controls boot options like Safe Mode and timeout, not startup programs. The General tab (C) controls the overall startup selection mode. The Tools tab (B) provides shortcuts to various system utilities but does not list startup programs.
