For the WinXP msconfig,

After every use there will be a pop up message at the next reboot to alert you that "You have used the system configuration utility..." (as if I didn't know)

Although there is an option for you to check "Don't show this box on startup", it is nevertheless an annoying and useless feature. Why should I be alerted to my using the system configuration utility?

I noticed that only the XP version has this annoyance. The Win98 version does not have this

Is there any way to disable the pop up message permanently - that is I do not want to be alerted about me using the msconfig at all whenever I use it. If thats not possible is there any other equivalent utilty around?

It appears that behavior is by design. The link above is for WinME, but it probably still applies to XP.
