Msconfig lists the full registry path to the key which you can navigate to using regedit, but what it doesn't tell you is that once you have disabled it, it puts the entry into another key for storage. The regular key for startups is a "Run" key, but when msconfig has disabled it you will find the entry in a "Run-" (run minus) key immediately below the Run key in the regedit listing. Cheers.
