services.msc is a better choice...sometimes msconfig does not always apply and or RETAIN the changes. This can lead to boot issues.

Also it won't prompt you for that restart as msconfig does.

You can only configure programs that are registered as services in services.msc, not programs that have placed a registry key in Run or a shortcut in the startup folder.
Patio your XP install is the only in the world with a services.msc that can configure items STARTED from Run in the registry or the startup folder.

Windows Services are different from other programs executed at startup in two ways:
1) Any executable can be executed through the Startup folder/Run, while a Windows service is a specially created background application AKIN to Unix daemons.
2) Services are started at boot time while items in Run/Startup are executed at user login.
