When the box appears, check "Services" tab, scroll down the list, look at the "Manufacturer" column and disable ALL those services of programs that YOU have installed.
Second tab is "Startup", check the "Command" column and disable those .exe files of programs that you see you have installed and don't want in the startup (apple, itunes, itunes, adobe etc.)

I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me
Windows XP doesn't have msconfig. Very strange that they took it out.
If you know someone with Windows 2000 you can grab it off that and it works fine.
or can probably find it on the interwebs somewhere.
[Tho I've just read on google that its the other way round.... hmmm, odd. could have sworn my copy doesn't have it]

Msconfig should work fine in both XP Pro and Home.
Normally you have two identical copies of msconfig.exe in
C:\Windows\System32\dllcache
and
C:\Windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries
The dates of the two should be identical (when you last installed Windows)
Try running it from one of the locations.. if not it is probably malware.
Try running a scan in safe mode - see if there is msconfig32.exe (there is no such thing in windows so definitely malware)
This article describes the new Tools tab that is available in the System Configuration utility (Msconfig.exe). The new Tools tab is available after you install the 906569 update on a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer.

Select ok, reboot, you're done.

As usual, I'm late to the party. Huggie, if you didn't get the msconfig thing to work for you go to live.sysinternals.com and download autoruns. This will show everything set to startup via all the different ways it can. Uncheck the stuff you don't want.
