John is experiencing problems with a slow start-up process when he switches ON the computer. Which of these utilities can be used to stop certain applications from starting automatically when the computer boots up?
  1. CONFIG.
  2. REGEDIT.
  3. SYSEDIT.
  4. MSCONFIG.
Explanation
Answer - D - Msconfig is a utility that can be used to either allow or deny programs from starting automatically when the computer boots up. Msconfig can be activated by typing msconfig in the Run option on the Start Menu.

Key takeaway: When you install a number of applications on the computer, the amount of free RAM available decreases significantly. Apart from the fact that these applications use RAM when they run, most of them start automatically when the computer boots up. Initializing all these programs takes longer than usual and this makes the user wait for longer periods before he can actually use the computer.
