Stop Msconfig.exe's Post-Boot Confirmation from Popping Up

I want to forever stop all automatic changes to my startup menu in XP. I am
using Spybot S&D's Tea Timer which does a good job of preventing the registry
changes, but everytime I reboot, it get the post boot confirmation pop up.
I check the box to "do not show this warning again" but still get the
warning every time I reboot.
Can I completely block all non physical startup changes somehow and do away
with teatimer or is there a way to modify the registry to kill the post boot
confirmation?
I do want the ability to manually input into MSCONFIG.
I have been dealing with this for years and would really like to find a
solution.
Thanks...gary

Sorry it took so long to reply. The first time I tried this, I backed up my
registry, made a new restore point in system restore, applied the fix and
nothing changed.
I then restored the point and was going to try again. The machine crashed.
It took me a couple of days to figure out that the problem was in the restore
point and not the reg change.
So after a week or so, I tried again. I did not notice any change in the
post boot popup and things are still being added which changes my startup. I
did the change as noted.
Is there something else I can try?
thanks...gary moore
