Default MSCONFIG warning suddenly appeared

I've often done start/run/msconfig to check there is nothing odd which
has been added to my system. I've never had to change anything,
luckily, so have ALWAYS left the info intact. Last night I did it, and
straight away it came up with this warning;-

"Environment variables were found in the legacy files AUTOEXEC.BAT
and/or CONFIG.SYS and the variables were moved to the Windows
Registry".

Help! What on earth does this mean?! Have I done something critical
somewhere (inadvertently)? I swear I've not loaded any new software
for over a year. I run SpyBot/AdAware etc. every few days. I never
mess with things I'm not sure about. It wasn't a one-off either. Every
time I start/run/msconfig now, same message (and I exit pronto!)

Any suggestions gratefully noted!
Thank you
Chris
