How do I remove startup items that come up under the
msconfig startup tab? Some of these are programs that are
no longer on my computer. Thanks

start\run and type in regedt32 and hit ok or enter on your keyboard then navigate the following route by clicking the + sign beside the entries in this order.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\StartupFolder and StartupReg Click on the + beside either one of the last two and then right click on the entry you want to delete and then click delete. Write this down and you will always be able to cleanup any unchecked items from the msconfig\startup tab. Even if the program is still on your system but you have stopped it from starting when windows starts. Remember. This only removes it from the startup tab not from your system. }:~)

I have Windows 98 SE. After running "MSCONFIG" one is presented with the
system configuration tab from which one can click on the "Startup" tab.
Problem: whilst one can check/uncheck individual programs, how does one
remove the item completely from the "Startup" tab window? There is a dialler
program which I can disable but cannot remove. Why?
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

You should see wher it is starting up from to the right of the check.
Something similar to C:\some folder name\some program.name - look at that
and you can possibly trace it back to what installed it and uninstall it.

Hi Philip,
Automated:
Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup (Line 148)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Manual:
To Remove Entries:
These values are stored in the Registry. Go to Start/Run/Regedit to access
these keys and values to delete/remove them:
For items that were in the Start menu, Programs, Startup folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder.
You'll find a subkey for each disabled item.
For items loaded from the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg.
Again, you'll find a subkey for each disabled item.

Disabled items are moved by MSConfig into its own section in the
registry. Run regedit and look in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SharedTools\MSConfig
subkeys
startupreg,
with a separate subkey for each item removed from the registry Run keys;
delete the subkeys
Startupfolder
subkey for each item removed from Programs startup, each including a
reference to where the shortcut has been stored. For these it is really
easier to restore them in MSconfig, then delete the items in Start - All
Programs - Startup

Instead of double clicking on the file, open Start/Run.
In the Run box, type the following (change path/name to
vbs file as needed):
wscript.exe "C:\my scripts\some.vbs"

Just guessing: Either you have .reg File Types set to Edit instead of Merge
or you are running a beta of SP2.
