Are you talking about the message box that comes up saying something like,
"You've used the System Configuration Utility" or the Utility itself
starts?

If the former, there is no need to install a third-party program to stop the
message. Simply tick the box in the lower left-hand corner of the message
that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

If the latter, please post back.

Just look at it for a while and something might happen.

OK, the "cleanup msconfig" utility the other poster had you download won't
help and has nothing to do with your issue. This is a new one - I've never
seen the utility itself start up with Windows, but live and learn. ;-)

Here are some things to try:

1. Do a System Restore to a time before you did whatever it was you did.
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
"Restore my computer to an earlier time". Pick one of the dates in bold that
is before the problem but not too far back in time.

2. If that doesn't work, since the Utility is coming up anyway look on its
Startup tab to see what is set to run.

How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -

3. I'm assuming that your computer is malware/virus-free. If it isn't or you
are unsure about this status:
