![]() ![]() Wow.. 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
