msconfig is more of a debugging tool. It does disable the item from starting, but it not supposed to be considered a permanent solution. Running the tool again may end up re-enabling programs. The only real way to stop the stuff is to remove their start entries from the registry, with all the caveats that entails. So, yeah, msconfig will work for the most part, just be sure to check from time to time that everything you want disabled is still disabled.
