Unticking an item in WIN.INI

What will happen if I untick an item in Win.INI in the System Cinfiguration
Utility?
I ask this because when I was checking it tonight I noticed a program that I
had installed then uninstalled later as it was causing conflicts, still had a
tick next to it. I didn't expect to find it here i.e. WIN.INI I have unticked
it, and got the message that "changes will not take place till I restart the
computer". I am on unfamiliar ground here and wonder what will happen (if
anything) when I switch off, then start up again, also why was the program
there if I had deleted it via the Add/Remove Programs. The program was
LogicHitKit from eMagic. all help and advice appreciated.

I suspect in this particular situation it won't have any negative effects if you
already uninstalled the program, but it might be best to copy/paste the line you
want to disable into a reply here so we can see what it is referring to. Include
under which section heading the item is found in the file, and paste the entire line
in question.

After uninstalling the program you are referring to, did you reboot since?
