    You can also open it directly by providing msconfig command in RUN or start menu search box.

    Or save several clicks... Start > Type 'msconfig' and hit Enter.

    i have lost my system configuration due to moving some of my essential files from drive C mistakenly, it can't even be found in the administrative tools through Control Panel, the question is how do i retain it ever again?

    do need reinstall the windows completely or there must surely be an alternative option?

    i appreciate any recommendation;
