Deleting startup items

Comment:

hi, i want to know whether it is possible to "DELETE" the unwanted startup items in msconfig. I have a lot of junk stuff there but it is not giving an option to delete. I can disable it though but still I just want to delete them completely from that list. Is it possible. Gopal Krishna

Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel will do what you want to do - delete the startup items as you see fit. Just make sure you know what you're doing. i_XpUser
