After having run "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel
to remove a program, how does one remove its entry in the
Startup list in the System Configuration Utility (msconfig)?
I'm trying to get rid of MS's Anti-Spyware beta utility and
Nero's InCD utility, but the Add/Remove function doesn't get
their entries out of the Startup list.

Look in

%homepath%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

for a shortcut for InCD.exe and I don't remember the exe for Microsoft
AntiSpyware.

I uninstalled it a long time ago.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Click to expand...
install ccleaner (google it) and you should be able to uninstall
programs, delete their entries, disable startup services, etc.

Hope that helps!
