Is there any way to remove, or delete the actual line items in the Start Up tab on the System Configuration Utility. I know I can check them to not auto load each time windows XP boots up, but is there a way to remove the actual line item. I currently have way too many apps. showing up that I currently will never use and would like to delete them from even showing on the menu.

Start/Run type in "regedit" without the quotes

Go to Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\SharedTools\MSConfig\

Look under both "startupfolder" and "startupreg"

Remove the items from there and they will no longer show up when you run MSCONFIG and go to the startup tab.

P.S. Set a restore point just in case you goof up

Back up the registry as well. It can never hurt to have an actual copy of it, instead of just a restore point.
