Vista - Vista, Windows Defender - Startup Programs

My OS is Windows Vista Business and I am attempting to disable the auto
startup of a program.

I located the program in Windows Defender, Category: Startup Programs but
all options to "Remove, Disable and Enable" are grayed out. I also noticed
the majority though not all auto startup programs in the Startup Category are
grayed out.

Why is this?

What other course of action may I take to disable the unneeded auto startup
of unnecessary programs?

Also, my inquiry pertains specifically to an HP Digital Camera software.

Thank you - Mark

it I just enter "system configuration" without the quotes in Vista
search and then click on the Startup tab.

Ccleaner or Autoruns or several other programs can all be used to delete
startup items, too.
