Explanation

In Windows Vista, the 'Performance Information and Tools' Control Panel applet includes a 'Manage startup programs' link, which opens Windows Defender's Software Explorer - a Vista-specific interface for controlling startup applications. This was a new capability introduced in Vista that distinguishes it from the XP approach of using MSCONFIG directly. Default Programs handles file-type associations. Performance Monitor tracks real-time system metrics. Device Manager manages hardware and drivers, not startup software.
