How do I delete startup items in windows config utility?

[ibex333]

When I run "msconfig" and examine my startup list I see many items that I deleted a very long time ago, and I know for a fact they are no longer installed on my PC. Yet, they are still listed in startup. Unchecked, off course, but still there...

How do I delete these and any other files, registry items relating to them? Are there any proggies that make this task easier?

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

The "System Startup" tool in Spybot Search & Destroy (v. 1.6 is the latest version) does a nice job of that too...

HiJackThis also has a tool for removal of startup items.

Now where in the registery do you remove trash that's still listed in the "Add or Remove Programs" list?

Agree
HiJackThis is what you need.
I run it every day to make sure nothing is there that isn't suppose to be.

CCleaner should do the trick for you and what the OP wants too
