I disabled certain start up programs in msconfig. And vista keeps giving me an annoying pop up everytime i switch on my computer saying certain programs have been disabled blah! blah! blah!. How do i make the pop up disappear permanently?

You might be able to find what you are looking for in TweakVI, I don't know if it has what you want but it is the only tweaker I have found for Vista.

Here is what you need to do. I know this works because I just did it on my laptop.

Go to Control Panel>Security Center and to the left you will see "Change the way Security Center alerts me." Then click the last option "Don't notify me and don't display the icon" and you should be good to go
