Gotta admit. I'm one of those hobbyist "genius experts".
Thanks for answering my question, but please allow me to rephrase it.
I noticed that in Windows 7, msconfig actually tells you the date items were disabled. Gives me the impression it's not just a temporary tool, at least in W7. I really meant to ask, what could go wrong with leaving the settings changed in msconfig? With your alternate solution, regedit, I know one mistake can mess up the whole system.
