i think the question is how to remove from msconfig the programs listed that have all ready been uncheck and stopped from starting up!!.i don't know the answer as i don't use msconfig to stop the programs i don't want starting up ,i use hijackthis to do that

Re: Remove old Start up files
 

my answer answers that... if you uninstall them, they are no longer listed.

i would not want to hack the registry to remove entries from msconfig; that would make it difficult to detect some running programs, unless that is your intent...
