You are walking the directory structure *twice*, using two different  
methods at the same time. Also, there is no standard `path` module, and  
several implementations around, so it would be a good idea to tell us  
which one you use.
If you want to omit a directory, and include just filenames matching a  
pattern:

import os, sys, os.path, fnmatch

def findinterestingfiles(root_dir):
   for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(root_dir):
     if "Archived" in dirnames:
       dirnames.remove("Archived")
     for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, '*Config*.xml'):
       fullfn = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
       print fullfn

myfile = open("boxids.txt", "r")
for line in myfile:
   dirname = os.path.join('D:\\Dir\\', line.strip())
   findinterestingfiles(dirname):
myfile.close()
