You will need to edit the registry in order to remove those
entries. I'd suggest you backup your registry first.

Go to Start -> Run and enter regedit in the Open box and click
OK.
Navigate to these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

In the right hand pane of each key right click on the value you
want to remove and select delete.
