Not quite.
AutoRuns shows and lets you enable/disable/delete everything that registers itself in:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Protocols\Filter
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Protocols\Handler
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SharedTaskScheduler
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved
HKLM\Software\Classes\Folder\Shellex\ColumnHandlers
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UrlSearchHooks
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDlls
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\Protocol_Catalog9
Neither of these sections appear in MSConfig (at least on my computer, running Windows Vista). AutoRuns also has the possibility of searching on
Google any one of the files it lists, a handy way of seeing if that file is known as a good "guy" or a bad "guy".
