You'll have go to the manual route this time. As far as i know, msconfig doesn't exist.

Startup entries should be in the following:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Windows 2000 doesn't have MSConfig either, but if you find msconfig.exe on your Windows XP PC it works on 2000. The same should work on MS Vista.

Exactly, I have tested it and it is working.

Copy \WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\msconfig.exe from your Windows XP partition to your Vista Windows\System32 folder. Then you can normally click Start->Run and type msconfig
