Can't remove a startup item from taskbar

I have a calender checker that automatically starts when I boot my computer. I have went into msconfig and deleted the checkmark next to this program to stop it from starting, but there is also another identical one right below it in the startup programs list in msconfig. Why are there 2 of this same thing there? I uncheck the one with the box. The other doesn't have a checkmark in it. It always starts up again when I reboot. How do I get this out of there? Why is it listed twice? Thanks!

It is listed twice because you disabled one and when you restarted it put one back. Look in the program to see if there is a tab that will let you disable it. Some programs has that.

For a real easy to use program, go to ZDnet and search for STARTUP COP.
Green is same as checked. Yellow is same as unchecked. Red means it can be removed completely.
