XP Home SP3

I have a couple of entries in the Startup tab of Msconfig relating to
programmes that have unistalled long ago. I also could not find them in
regedit.

How do I get rid of the entries, please?

Thank you.

*Bonjour Peter * !

XP Home SP3

I have a couple of entries in the Startup tab of Msconfig relating to
programmes that have unistalled long ago. I also could not find them in
regedit.

How do I get rid of the entries, please?

The disabled entries are present in these locations:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

You can download this tool "AutoRuns for Windows"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
And remove the entry from here:

Locate this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run = look in
the right pane/window and remove the entry for the apps and remove them.
Also you can use this tool:
