Tony,

The unchecked [disabled] items in MSCONFIG are present here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg]

The enabled ones are be present here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

You may either delete the keys manually, or download a fix from:

Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup [Line 148]

When you run msconfig you can select the STARTUP tab and 
check or uncheck items that are in that list.  My 
question, which is probably a silly one, is how do you 
delete items on that list instead of just unchecking 
them.  This way you do not require a selective startup 
eac time you boot.  Somehow, over the years, I missed the 
trick on how to accomplish this......Thanks for any 
help....
