Go to start | run. Type in regedit. Click ok. Look in these locations
for the entry and delete it.

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

Make sure you have a backup of the registry before making changes. I
suggest using ERUNT.
