MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal

I have more and more executables that I have unchecked to disable them
building up in the window that opens when you run MSCONFIG. Can someone
please tell me how to remove the lines I do not want to appear there? I
suspect that it is in the registery somewhere but I have searched and can
only find the "run" commands and deleting them does not remove them from the
msconfig window.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

The unchecked items will show up in one of these two registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

You can manually delete them or run the script available from this web site to
automatically clear them up.
