It depends on model. Some models can save some data without reloading, some can't. Thus you can have partially configured router or not configured at all. But reloading is not going to damage your router.

wr or copy running-config startup config
If you want to make the saved configuration the current configuration, essentially undoing configuration changes since you last saved, you can use:copy start runcopy startup-config running-config
Router(config)#Copy running-config startup-config
The startup config is what has been saved to the memory (using write mem) and is used when the router is powered on. You can change the startup config after it has been powered up, this would be the running config. If you power the router off without saving the changes, it would revert to the startup config.
"Copy run start" works for sure "Cop ru st" Should work aswell, not 100% sure though

The startup configuration will be erased and if the router is restarted will boot with no configuration.
This is an incomplete command. However, this indicates that the running configuration will be saved on the device to a different location.

a startup folder is a folder in the system configuration utility that has programs in it that loads or runs whenever you startup your computer could p.s ... could cause slower startup if to much is in it
