I have disabled a number of Startup items using MSCONFIG, some of which
cannot even be traced in the Registry using REGEDIT, please can anyone tell
me how these can be erased completely from the Startup list?

In Regedit go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig and delete what you want from within the starupfolder and startupreg

Click to expand...

The unchecked [disabled] items in MSCONFIG are present here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

You may either delete the keys manually, or Run the edit on Kelly's site:

See the top of the page for info on running the edit.
