Greetings --
MSConfig is/was a Win98/Me utility, brought back in WinXP, which
is also targeted at the home consumer market. There is no equivalent
utility included with Win95/WinNT/Win2K.
In most cases, one need only open the offending program and
deselect the option to "display icon in the system tray" or to "start
when Windows starts."
To view the list of your start up programs, look in the
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up
folders, and in the system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. These can
also be viewed, if I remember correctly, by right-clicking My
Computer, selecting "Manage" and expanding System Tools-- System
Information -- Software Environment -- Startup Programs. To prevent
any of them from starting at login, you'll have to delete shortcuts
from the startup folder(s) and/or edit the registry. I should point
out that, in order to make such system modifications requires one to
have administrative privileges to the machine in question. I should
also point out that one should not even consider editing the registry
unless he is fully confident that he knows exactly what is going to
happen as a result of each and every change.

As said, "msconfig" is application inluded in win98/me, and brought back in XP.
What i have done is copying the msconfig program from win98 and just pasting it back in my "c:\winnt\system32\" folder. after that just run msconfig, but you will get 3 error messages, but the program startup will still work.
Or better yet, you can copy the msconfig from windows XP, then no error messages will be shown.
