Any item unchecked in MSCONFIG does not get deleted. You can turn them back on at a later date by putting a check next to it again. The items unchecked won't run automatically when you run Windows, but you can Start them manually. If you like to find out what each of these files that are listed in the Startup, you can enter the name of the file in the search engine of Google at Google.com and it will bring up info on that file
