After using msconfig is it okay to leave selective startup?

Dan;
The computer will function properly.
But that is not the intention of Selective Start-up.
Now that you know the program, you should go to the program itself and
disable the option to start-up at boot.
Apparently this program is not one of them, but there are programs that will
recreate the start-up item.
If that happens, you can have many disabled entries and one enabled entry.
Best to stop it at the source, the program.
Better yet find the source of the error and fix that.
