Thanks Flash for the quick reply. I've tried to open it from the source, no go. Just now pasted your 2 files in search & both come up with no results. As I said above MISCONFIG.EXE shows up in the registry. I don't have another XP PC. It's had this problem for quite a while but it has worked in this installation. It's only lately that I've had this problem. Afraid I don't know how to extract the MSCONFIG.EXE from the disc unless I do a search on the D drive, is that what I should do? actually just did that with no results.

Hii all, looking forward to getting to know you! Am new here & really hope you can help me with "run>misconfig" problem that I have had since quite some time and have spent hours& hours & hours over several days trying to solve. I have sought help on several forums, Googled till I'm half blind. found a thread here concerning this problem without any luck & what info I have found is not very encouraging. Am using XP Pro SP2. All commands except for MSCONFIG open. Help & Support opens also. Have tried sfc /scannow to no avail. MISCONFIG>EXE shows up in the registry. Is there any thing I can do short of a repair installation? Never heard of this, but is there a way to find the file on my XP Pro disc? Really going bonkers here; it's an annoying handicap, as you can imagine. Much thanks for any help.
