Recover/Restore missing startup programs?

[[email protected]]

Recently, I had to fully (or hopefully fully) remove a virus from my
computer recently using Norton. So far, all infected viruses are gone,
I followed the removal instructions of Symantec, and I never set System
Restore on. But I think it may have deleted some programs that were set
to load during startup in msconfig? Perhaps through the registry?
Usually, I have a few programs selected to startup on msconfig like
AIM, audigy 2 sound software, etc but now they're all gone as in
there's no checkboxes for them. I look at Task Manager and they didn't
load. msconfig was essentially empty save for checkboxes for 2 new
programs I had installed. But services like print spooler, etc remain
intact. It's only the programs. Is there any way to restore or recover
already installed programs back into msconfig and make them load at
startup again?

Uninstall and reinstall the programs using Start, Control Panel, Add /
Remove Programs.
