Hi all,

Does anyone know where the registry entry for the startup items in Task Manager are?

I have a couple there that don't exist anymore. They are set to disabled but I'd like to remove them completely from the list.

Thanks in advance

One way is to download "autoruns" and delete the entires from there. Autoruns is portable and free. Just download, unzip and run as admin and it will show you those entries which can be deleted from within. Please do not touch anything else unless you understand the consequences. The ones you would recognize would be under the Logon Tab:

You can download autoruns here:

Good luck.
