The items can be removed by editing the registry. For more information see:

Before you edit the registry I recommend that you understand how to backup, edit and
restore the registry. For more information see the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article and/or Registry FAQ. In particular, I suggest that you read the KB
Article section titled "Export Registry Keys" and then before you edit the registry
export the keys that you plan to edit.
