You wrote that, per your 'fix', you "can no longer use most or all of the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy software"
For some [most?] users, this would not be considered an acceptable 'solution'.
Also: Once you "turn-off" the items you mention via MSCONFIG, can you easily 'restore' them if you later decide to do so?
EDIT: Looks like your second post just answered this, in the affirmative. But I'd still suggest 'caution' in-general here, as I believe some versions of MSConfig offer a "Clean-Up" option, which in fact remove references to disabled programs.
If not, a far preferable approach would be to use an enhanced startup manager, such as WinPatrol,
which will allow you to DISABLE items (rather than REMOVE them) from start up, with the ability to easily re-ENABLE them at any time that you wish.
lastly (for now), there have been some reports that
Rundll32 CTMBHA.DLL,MBMon
is the only "offending" line, generating the ClClean file...
that is to say, it might suffice to disable this one line alone, rather than all 3 (2 start-up + 1 service) that you've suggested.
If you're in a position to test this, it would be interesting to learn your results.
