One last thing, make sure to open up the application you plan on disabling and see if there's a option to disable it from there - it's no use having a mismatch between what windows sais and what the program thinks. Also, it's a good idea to remove the program if you're not going to use it.
Also, when disabling services, don't disable them from start-->run--->MSCONFIG, disable them from SERVICES.MSC. Also, stopping services from starting up by setting them to manual or disabled can stop some programs from working - so make sure you know what you're doing. Personally, I set some services to MANUAL. For example, when I want to run O&O defrag I open up services.msc and manually start O&O defrag.
I am not sure how to remove the UNTICKED programs from MSCONFIG, but I think a regstry cleaner. e.g. registry mechanic, should do it or maybe them registry edits I link you guys to in the previous thread. ALSO
http://www.google.com/search?hl=xx-hacker&q=msconfig+removing&btnG=Google+s3a%7C...EDIT: Found out how to, tick everything in msconfig startup tab, restart. start-->run--->regedit.... Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Delete entries you don't need, but you won't be abled to bring them back unless you edit registry or reinstall program again, so only do it with ones you DON'T need to run at startup.... EVER.
Good luck.
And another one last thing when you're all done, Start--->run--->rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks might help optimise startup. Best used with Nick Ns tweaks im the fsx forum stickies. Renember what I said about knowing what you're disabling? Taskscheduler service must be set to auto and running for this to work.
You can also get a TON of info from the fsx forum stickes.
AGAIN, be VERY CAREFUL if you're going to get more advanced and disable services and modding registry.
After some more tweaking...:
