There are several way by which you can search “msconfig” file .
1. Go to start then go to RUN and type “msconfig”. You will get it Or else see another way.
2. Go to start and search with “msconfig”.
This method shows you where System Configuration Utility is located in Windows using Windows Explorer.
Please perform the following steps:
1. Please go to the start menu and choose RUN
2. Now type there “C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries” and press ok.
3. In the binaries folder you will find msconfig file.
I have more complicated question for you! When I tried both the ways of finding the msconfig file (as mentioned by above user) I had these results:
01st I tried start -> RUN -> type “msconfig”
o/p: windows can’t find "msconfig.exe".
when I tried 2nd way start and search with “msconfig”.
I found two “msconfig” files!
One is located at C\Windows\help and it shows that as "compile HTML help file” other one is located at C\windows\PCHealth\Help Ctr\Binaries and is described as "system configuration utility" . I think 2nd one is correct one.
How can I access msconfig from run command?
You are probably missing msconfig.exe file. I have tried this, if I remove msconfig.exe file, then I am not able to find it through RUN command either. You must have misplaced it. Find your msconfig file and place it on the correct path that is : C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe.
This will allow you to run msconfig from RUN command.
