[WIN7] Mysterious disappearance and reappearance of msconfig in HKLM?

Not a problem, but a question of simple curiosity: Why does HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\msconfig usually NOT show up during a search, but every now and then mysteriously reappears? Took a screenshot this morning of its rare appearance and as soon as I closed regedit and reopened, sure enough, it had again disappeared. I do understand the proper way to disable start up entries is by unchecking in msconfig > startup, but every now and then, I like to eliminate one or two in regedit. Again, no problems, only asking why it plays hide and seek since Win7? :) N.B.: Pulled it up through Regscan http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.html (nice tool) -- "Be simple, be earnest and spread that simplicity throughout everything you do."
