MSCONFIG is supplied with XP and works pretty much the same as before with small changes to match the new OS. Some programs will reinstate themselves if you uncheck them with MSCONFIG and this may infuriate some. Not much you can do about badly behaving programs like that. I choose to uninstall such and not use them.

Other people will use other programs like STARTER which I noted in the Anti-Parasite Suite post at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0

Still others will have to learn about this new OS and what SERVICES are.
