Re: msconfig
msconfig is more of a diagnostic tool.

If you want to disable startup entries uses something like autoruns from
Microsoft (formally System Internals)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx Note that
this must be run as administrator to effect any changes.

or WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

Both are free utilities.
