Explanation

Despite the unusual phrasing at the start of this question, it still asks which tool disables startup programs - the answer is MSCONFIG (Microsoft System Configuration Utility). MSCONFIG's Startup tab lets users and technicians control which applications launch automatically during Windows boot. Fixboot and FIXMBR repair boot-related structures on the disk, and Performance Monitor is a diagnostics tool, none of which manage startup entries.
