How do I remove an item from the msconfig startup list?
many thanks--Mel

You can delete Msconfig entries from here:

These values are stored in the Registry. Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT
to access the keys and values:

For items that were in the Start menu, Programs, Startup folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder.
You'll find a subkey for each disabled item.

For items loaded from the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg.
Again, you'll find a subkey for each disabled item.

Your programs could still be listed here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE

As for your processes, start with the Msconfig/Startup.
