IMHO Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel http://mlin.net/ is an easier way to deal 
with this -- no warnings that you're running in a special mode when you boot, 
so the (l)user doesn't get freaked ;-)

For serious control of Windows startup items, google for "Silent Runners".  
It's a VBScript that lists everything that starts up no matter where.
