[nfbcs] Cleaning the Startup menu

[Tracy Carcione]

I recently tried unchecking some programs, using msconfig, and next time I 
started my computer, it said that startup was not in normal mode and it had 
to restore what was there before.  I tried changing the dialog from Custom 
to Normal, but it didn't work and my computer put back the things I'd tried 
to take out.  So how can I get them out?
