Explanation

MSCONFIG is a command-line tool that opens the System Configuration Utility dialog box, which can be used to troubleshoot and resolve startup errors, resolve unwanted prompts by third party users, find and resolve problems with running services, and resolve the errors regarding boot paths configured on multi-boot computers. MSCONFIG.EXE helps a user to detect a specific file that is causing startup problems. Answer option A is incorrect. The MSINFO32 command cannot be used to edit configuration. What is the MSINFO32 utility? MSINFO32 is a command-line tool that opens the System Information window, which provides the detailed information about the configuration of a computer. A user can use this utility when he wants to obtain information about the local or remote computer's hardware configuration, installed software, computer components, hardware conflicts, drivers, memory status, and product activation status.
