You will need to edit the registry in order to remove those
entries. I'd suggest you backup your registry first.

Go to Start -> Run and enter regedit in the Open box and click
OK.
Navigate to these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

In the right hand pane of each key right click on the value you
want to remove and select delete.

Same answer as in microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain

go here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Read instructions at the top.
Scroll down to:
148. Right hand side.
Click on:
Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup

Clean-up the MSCONFIG startup tab listings - Windows XP
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/MSCONFIG.htm

Disabled items are in >>>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Look in the "Startup" folder on the Start Menu for an aoltray shortcut.
Delete if found.
