Wow..:DOne more cool customization today.This guide will show you how to customize "MSCONFIG" Tools menu with additional
applications.All this without the help of third party applications.So, I am going to show you how to edit
MSCONFIG Tools menu as follows:
1.Copy the below code in notepad first.
<MSCONFIGTOOLS>
<TOOL NAME="Application's name" PATH="path for the .exe file" DEFAULT_OPT="/k %windir%\system32\ipconfig.exe" ADV_OPT="/k %windir%\system32\ipconfig.exe /all" HELP="Displays the network IP address."/>
</MSCONFIGTOOLS>
2.In the above code, add information to "TOOL NAME","PATH" and "HELP" . For
example, if you want to add a tool called "Chess", here is what you need to add.
<MSCONFIGTOOLS>
<TOOL NAME="Chess" PATH="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Games\chess\chess.exe" DEFAULT_OPT="/k %windir%\system32\ipconfig.exe" ADV_OPT="/k %windir%\system32\ipconfig.exe /all" HELP="I am going to play this now!!"/>
</MSCONFIGTOOLS>
3.Now, save this with Mscfgtlc.xml in C:\Windows\System32 foler(replace C with your Vista drive).
4.Open MSCONFIG by typing "msconfig"(without quotes) in Start Menu Search box and hit enter.
5.Go to "Tools" tab to see your new application.
Note: You can add any number of applications here.I hope it also works with XP;)
