Based on an answer that got deleted, I wound up installing Autoruns and removed the items from within the program.
Alternatively, I could have deleted them from the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run branch using RegEdit.

- Startup programs for current user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Startup programs for currently logged on users (also applicable to current user):
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Where S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX is the SID of the logged on user.
- Startup programs ran by System account (for all users):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- 32-bit Startup programs on 64-bit system ran by System account (for all users):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can remove the entries using Ccleaner by going to Tools->StartUp-> then you can ENABLE/DISABLE/DELETE any entry

Cleaning the registry here did worked for me : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Though not every dead program moved from the tab, then I tried Ccleaner "Tools->StartUp-> then you can ENABLE/DISABLE/DELETE any entry" and it did worked perfectly.
