Should I just Ignore the fact thet OLD AOL and OLd Mcafee cleaner are displayed in my 98se MSCONFIG ( unchecked ) since they are old and removed.

I dont know why they stayed after AOL and McAfee was removed

If you are familiar with the registry you can manually remove them via regedit.

Alternatively (and so much easier) you can just recheck all the items. Download Autoruns.

Run Autoruns.exe, under the Logon tab look at CurrentVersion\Run key and then find your above mentioned items. Select them and hit delete.

[B]Would you believe -
I found a feature in my Spybot S&D to remove those old MSCONFIG start up 's
and it worked great. and I see I can also do the same delete in a feature in our CCleaner. - Take a look ---

Yup! No need to download anything else to do it since you've already got CCleaner.
Complexity of incoherent design.
