but, you say there are multiple entries on this list? could you please be more specific here? and are these programs that you installed? if they aren't it's about time to do a full system scan

I know how to go to msconfig and uncheck things. i want to erase the instance that is in that start up tab.
Yes. they are programs that i have installed but dont want them to start up. I just wanted to know if there was an easy way to erase just that instance in the start up tab without affecting the programs themselves.
thanks
