Editing MSCONFIG Startup List

[Marty]

What is the source of the list of startup programs in the
Startup panel of MSCONFIG? I am trying to get rid of all
vestiges of Gator adware, but the executable program still
shows up in the list, albeit disabled. Is this list in
the registry somewhere?

Thanks

The unchecked [disabled] items in MSCONFIG are moved here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg]

The enabled ones might be present here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
