Which of the following steps will you take to accomplish the task?

You work as a technician for Troubleshooters Inc. Rick, a user, calls you to state that his computer’s
startup process is taking more than usual
time. His computer is configured for dual booting in Windows 98 and Windows XP. He also
complains that default booting occurs so soon that
he does not get enough time to choose the operating system. He wants to optimize the startup time
as well as increase the display time of
the list of operating systems. Which of the following steps will you take to accomplish the task?

A.
Run the MSINFO32 command and configure the settings.

B.
Run the CHKDSK command and configure the settings.

C.
Run the SFC /SCANNOW command and configure the settings.

D.
Run the MSCONFIG command and configure the settings.

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? Hide
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.
