Use regedit and delete anything that doesn't look important? lol

You can find the correct path for the items that appear in that startup
list by searching google groups for 'hklm run current version run'(I
haven't actually done that but it should work) and using the one that is
relevant to your operating system, which you haven't specified.

Once you find the correct set of reg keys (do they compare with the
startup items you see in msconfig?) you can remove the ones you don't
want.

Remember you are well under the hood, can easily render your machine
unbootable if you mess up, and you should be ok. (liability all YOURS)

Be sure to post back and let us all know how you got on (if you can!)

in Win98 you can use regedit....

Just do the following and u should be OK ;-)

Choose 'find' from 'Edit' menu
in 'Find what?' type 'run' (without quotes)
make sure only Keys is checked and select 'Match whole string only'

When 'Run' is found you will see a list of *most* of you msconfig startup
items. If you're not sure which ones you want to remove then leave them
alone!!!
You can do the same for 'RunServices' for the remainder of the list.
Also check your windows\start menu\programs\startup folder for any remaining
items.

Heed the warning though, if you're not sure, leave the registry alone
