Explanation

MSCONFIG (System Configuration Utility) includes a 'Startup' tab that lists all programs configured to run at startup and allows a technician to enable or disable them individually. This is the standard tool for managing startup items in Windows XP. Default Programs manages file associations, not startup behavior. Device Manager handles hardware drivers. Performance Information and Tools provides system ratings and diagnostics, but does not manage startup programs in Windows XP.
