Why each option
MSCONFIG (System Configuration Utility) provides a Startup tab specifically for enabling or disabling programs that launch at system boot. Other tools listed serve different administrative purposes.
MSCONFIG is the System Configuration Utility that includes a dedicated Startup tab listing all programs configured to run at boot. A technician can enable or disable individual startup entries directly from this interface, making it the correct tool for managing startup programs.
The Services console manages Windows background services, not user-level startup programs loaded via the registry Run keys or Startup folder.
MSTSC is the Microsoft Terminal Services Client used to initiate Remote Desktop connections, unrelated to startup program management.
Computer Management is a broad MMC snap-in that includes Services and other tools but does not have a dedicated startup program management interface.
