1. Usually a virus is the culprit for removing msconfig, regedit and etc.

2. Check to see if the MSCONFIG file is on your hard drive.

Click Start, click Run, type: %systemroot%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\

click OK.

Is misconfig.exe file located there?

If not, then to extract a new copy from the Windows CD:-

Open a command prompt window.
Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter the following command:

(assuming D is your CD drive and C is where your Windows is installed)

EXPAND -R D:\I386\MSCONFIG.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\BINARIES

This will extract a new copy of the MSCONFIG.EXE from the CD.

Try launching MSCONFIG from Run command. If you still can't, then check this location in
the registry in case there is an error there:-

Click Start, click Run, type: regedit

Navigate to this key:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE

In the right pane, next to Default, it should show:

C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe

Try launching MSCONFIG.exe again

It is part of Nero if the name has not been hijacked.

There is such an application which isn't malware.

However, your system may still be infected with malware which is merely
using these names.
