Yes there is a way to get rid of them. Doing the following will do it but
make sure that when deleting you delete the correct item

Regedit\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\Startupreg and highlight and delete the unwanted entries

Thanks, Peter...
Still didn't get them all, especially the mystery blank command one.

I am running XP SP3.
Is was looking at msconfig as I was annoyed by a few startup items such as
Adobe updater, etc.
I unchecked the boxes, rebooted and everything is OK.
But I have a few startup commands that I have unchecked which are still
there even when I uninstalled the associated programs, as well as one with
a
blank command column.
Is there any way to get rid of these unchecked startup entries so I don't
have to look at them anymore?
Thank you!
