You don’t need to wait for Windows 7 to discard MSConfig for Windows startup tuning and application control.
Download Autoruns from the Microsoft Technet site now and use it instead. Autoruns is a vast improvement over MSConfig with about 3 times the number of information tabs and better viewing of the information.
Autoruns is also more valuable for hunting down malware since you can simply right click an entry and search the web for information on exactly what the program is and does.
Do be careful before deleting, though, and I always like to have a current backup of the system registry before making changes like this.
