Why each option
The Startup tab in MSCONFIG is specifically designed to list and toggle all applications configured to automatically launch when a user logs into Windows.
The Startup tab in MSCONFIG displays each application registered to run at login, showing its name, publisher, and command path. A technician can uncheck individual entries to prevent them from launching at boot without uninstalling them. This is the correct and intended tool for managing boot-time application behavior in Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
The Services tab lists Windows services (both Microsoft and third-party), not user-mode applications that launch at login.
The Tools tab provides shortcuts to launch various Windows diagnostic and administrative utilities; it does not configure startup items.
The Boot tab controls OS boot configuration options such as boot timeout, safe mode, and debugging flags, not which applications launch after login.
