Answer 1

As far as I know, you should do this according to what the launch point does. Thus, remove the keys from the corresponding registry using regedit, for example. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ *ProgramName*(This is shown in the "location" column in msconfig.)

Answer 2

CCleaner has a built-in function for this.

(Tools → Launch → Select the desired item and click "Delete")
