Deleting MSCONFIG startup items?

Hey all,
Just a quickie: In MSCONFIG, under the Startup tab, there are a list of startup items, half of which are ticked and half of which aren't.
Basically I want to remove the unticked ones, some of which I will NEVER be interested in using, from the list altogether, but have no idea on how to do this.

You can go to the options in each program & untick load at startup or something like that. Or, Start > All Programs > Startup, right click on the program you want to delete & hit Delete.

Another good tool.
Startup Control Panel http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet ( Sits in Control Panel ) that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden your system. A valuable tool for system administrators! Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP. May need to use InstMsi http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp
