Ensure you have a Full Registry Backup before editing the registry.
The "RUN" keys are just one set of locations from which
programs/services are started. Try (Sysinternals) AUTORUNS, which
IMO is far superior to MSCONFG. Manage Services via the
services.msc or sc.exe.

Not a native W2K file. Could be left-over 3rd-party, or something
ugly. Anti-* scans and file Properties examination are warranted
most likely.
