Start OrbSearch boxtype: regedit

When regedit appears in the Results box above, right-click it and choose
"Run as Administrator". When regedit opens, navigate to:

HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftShared ToolsMsconfig

Look under startupfolder and startupreg for the unwanted entries and delete
them.

Hello viviand,
Forgive me from asking. Why do you want to delete disabled programs
from the startup list? They are not going to do any damage, nor slow
down your startup time, for that matter. You are playing with the
registry, that's a dangerous move.
I'm not in disagreement with your decision, just curious.

Must be another place than that one. Didn't work at all here.

Hi Viviand,

Some of these you can remove from with Windows Defender. See Option
Two, Method One in this tutorial below for how. It will be safer.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79...e-disable.html

To also remove them from msconfig, you will need to look at the
registry "Location" for the program in msconfig and then manually delete
it from the registry. You can use Option Two with Method Two and Three
to help out with this in the same tutorial above.

Hope this helps you,
Shawn

Thank you for your explanation. I was just wondering that since your
know what are abled and disabled , wouldn't that be enough? And what if
you wanted some of those activated in the futrue. You couldn't because
you had deleted them. If you follow my line of thinking.
