startup process cleaning

[Guest]

Have begun helping a friend cleanup her system ... we're removing a bunch of
unnecessary processes that load during startup by editing the Registry and
removing things from the Startup folder (and yes, we made backups!)

We ran into a couple lines listed on the Startup page of MSCONFIG that make
calls to programs that were uninstalled a long time ago; the lines say these
objects should be located in one of the Startup folders (specific users &
common) but they're not there. So how can we remove these lines?

Jerry:
I don't understand your reply ... you said "yes" but to what I'm not sure. I
asked HOW we could remove those lines, please clarify your answer. Thanks.
