Try doing the following:
Go to Start | Run.
Enter in: %userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
A directory will open which contains all the shortcuts in the startup folder
belonging to the user ID you are logged in as.
You can now delete whatever program you wish.
Now go to Start | Run again.
This time enter in: %allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
This directory contains all the shortcuts to programs for all users.
The above instructions are assuming you are an Administrator user on the
machine. If you are not setup as an Administrator user, then you will not
be able to remove any of these shortcuts from any Startup directory.
