Tweaking msconfig....

I am running Windows XP Home Edition and I am trying to "neaten" up my entire pc.
My question is this: How can I remove the files in msconfig under the startup tab?
Files that I have unchecked and I don't want them being there. (I hope this didn't
confuse anyone) Thanks for the help.

If you are looking for a performance boost try:
Black Viper
Look under XP Services, most users find the "safe"
catagory to be applicable.
Good Luck,

You can do this with regedit.
You heard this a hundred times, before you play with the registry back it up.
Start>Run>Type regedit>OK. Next, Highlight My Computer. Edit>Find>type msconfig>click
Find Next.
This will bring you to the MSConfig folder. Expanded it and you will see a folder
startupreg, expanded it you will see all the entries that you unchecked in msconfig.
Delete them and close regedit. Open regedit and they will be gone. Tom
