I don’t know if this was ever posted or ever tried by anyone else so DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Be safe and back up the Registry first!
This was an article in a magazine i've recently bought. My main concern is that they tell you to go to startup folder but in my computer, I’ve found the files at startupreg(I will explain it better on the bottom).
Pretty much everybody in this forum probably already customized their startup items. But how do I remove them from the MSCONFIG list if I no longer will allow then to load? (See Picture 1)

On this example, I want to remove kazaa from the list because I will never allow it to load at start up so I want to remove it from the list.
This is what you do: (Remember one thing: you are not removing anything on the RIGHT panel, what you want to delete is Registry term for the folder, on the left panel See picture 2)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSconfig
In the magazine, it read to go to startupfolder so if you want to try that, go ahead but in my computer I didn’t find anything that I’ve wanted to delete so I’ve clicked on the startupreg folder and there were the sub files... (See Picture 2)

Once you’ve there, locate the item you want to delete (In my case, Kazaa Media Desktop) right click the file and select delete (make sure you check at MSCONFIG and compare the file to the one located under startupreg)
Once you’ve done, reboot, open MSCONFIG and select the Startup tab and the item that you’ve deleted will no longer be present. Repeat if you have anymore programs that you want to remove.
Good luck!
