Why Does Control Panel Only Let Me Remove Certain Programs From The Start-up Programs Menu?

A few stupid programs keep erroring out on start-up so I set to get rid of them to speed up the process of turning my computer on.
However control panel only wants to let me disable certain start-up programs, and annoyingly enough, they’re the really benign dull ones I couldn’t give two about. When I try clicking on the ones I want to disappear, the remove option greys out. How can I force the computer to obey my wishes?!
