Using XP HE SP2. I am looking for the registry key where I can find
items that I unchecked in msconfig>startup so I could remove the
unused onces.

Thank you

There is no need to hack the registry. If you want to run
msconfig.exe, click Start / Run / msconfig {OK}. If you
don't want to see the msconfig dialog box at startup time,
place a mark into its tick box and click OK.

In most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually as
simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option to
"display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows starts."

Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start
Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the system registry, primarily in
the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
