I installed two worthless programs, it still shows up
when I open up MSCONFIG under the Start up Tab, how do I
get rid of this? I unchecked them so they don't run,
which was slowing my PC down, now I get msconfig utility
comeing up each time I start pc.

Thanks Ter

The disabled startup items are moved here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg]

Open Regedit.exe and delete the sub-keys from above location.

As for the msconfig "selective startup" screen at every boot, try this:

Click Start | run | type "msconfig /auto"
Uncheck the box and press OK.

A correction:

It should be,
Click Start | run | type "msconfig /auto"
** Check the option "Don't Show this message............ ** and press OK.
