-the AllUsers folder C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I understand how to disable items shown in the startup list (run,
msconfig, startup, regedit, etc., etc.); however, how do I permanently
remove them from the listing under startup? Once these items are
disabled and removed from directories or the registry, they are still
listed as potential startup items. I believe the case is the same for
XP. How is the startup list generated, i.e., where is the actual list
stored and how is edited to permanently remove items that are of no
interest for future use? -- Thanks!
