This is a great tip for blocking those annoying programs that run automatically. I had forgotten what the command was exactly, so thank you.

EXCELLENT , EXCELLENT , EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of the other site that talk about giving you information as to
how to remove startup programs , most are all BS !

They get you their site by using key words and then when you try to find
the download that will help you it is ALL mixed in with other applications
that they wish to sell to you.

U guys just told me straight up and directly…. THANK YOU !!!!

For those of you looking to manually dead entries still showing in the msconfig startup list you need to look at the following registry key -

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

This seems to be the location where msconfig stores the items currently unchecked in the startup list. It worked for me but you might want to backup your registry before making any changes.

Hope this helps some of you.
