msconfig Startup problem

I have a small problem with msconfig Startup section. I am checking this section regularly to disable various programs that run with Windows and eat computer resources without any reason. I have noticed three entries that do not have a name. They also do not have a command. Only registry key. Are they some viruses or just some garbage left in registry? Can I delete these entries?

If entry does not have command associated then it is harmless. These entries are, most probably, results of sloppy uninstaller that left entries in registry. You can safely delete them if you want. In fact, you can disable almost all in msconfig Startup and Windows will still run normally. I usually leave only antivirus and antispyware programs here.
