Annoyed by System Configuration Utility pop up!!!

I was trying to stop some programs from starting automatically on my XP computer by going into msconfig. Now I keep getting a System Configuration Utility pop-up screen which keeps trying to default me back to automatically starting those programs again. Having those programs start automatically slows down the boot up and is especially annoying when I seldom use those programs anyway. Any way to stop the pop up?
 
Hi,

Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup (Line 148)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Or...remove the runkeys from here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run

Stop the Selective Startup Screen (Line 173)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key and delete it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run\MSConfig

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run\MSConfig
