You want to enable or disable the programs that automatically start when Windows starts. Which Windows feature should you use?

The System Configuration Utility (msconfig) primarily manages startup applications and boot options, but the Computer Management Console offers a broader set of controls for various automatic startup mechanisms like services and scheduled tasks.

Reliability and Performance Monitor is designed for tracking system performance and identifying reliability issues, not for configuring programs that start with Windows.

Performance Information and Tools provides an assessment of system performance and offers tips for improvement, but it does not allow for enabling or disabling startup programs.

The Computer Management Console includes the Services snap-in, which allows users to enable or disable system services configured to start automatically, and Task Scheduler, which manages tasks set to run at startup.
