What version of Vista are you running? I have MSCONFIG on my system.

Right click on "Computer" in the start menu and choose "Manage". Then at
the bottom of the left hand pane, expand "Services and Applications" then
click on "Services". ON the right hand side will be all the services that
run and you can change the desired service to "Manual" or "Disabled".

The service that I want to delete does not appear in the list under Computer
Manage Services. it is a backup exe file and it is started on startup
because I can see it when I check through Start Task Manager.

How can I find and disable this on startup in Vista Home Premium?

msconfig is still available. On task manager, on the file tab, click on new
task and type in msconfig There are a half dozen other ways to start it.
Use run etc.
