Recover/Restore missing startup programs?

[FriendsOfWraiths]

Recently, I had to fully (or hopefully fully) remove a virus from my
computer recently using Norton. So far, all infected viruses are gone,
I followed the removal instructions of Symantec, and I never set System
Restore on. But I think it may have deleted some programs that were set
to load during startup in msconfig? Perhaps through the registry?
Usually, I have a few programs selected to startup on msconfig like
AIM, audigy 2 sound software, etc but now they're all gone as in
there's no checkboxes for them. I look at Task Manager and they didn't
load. msconfig was essentially empty save for checkboxes for 2 new
programs I had installed. But services like print spooler, etc remain
intact. It's only the programs. Is there any way to restore or recover
already installed programs back into msconfig and make them load at
startup again?

Place a shortcut for each program into your Startup folder.

Click Start > Run
Type "%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
Put the shortcut of the programs that you like to start at boot.

The problem here is not all programs just load like this, some want
special parameters/switches. For those programs , read their help to
know about the parameters.

I have tried that for a few programs but is there another way to find
it like say in registry backups? Same thing for even windows processes
like volume control, which I somehow can't find to put in the startup
folder.
