While messing around with my system, I managed at one stage to get three copies of LoadPowerProfile running at startup. I unchecked two of them in msconfig/startup with no ill effect.
Sometimes there are command-line switches on those startup entries. Make sure the entries are identical before you uncheck one of them, otherwise you may be disabling something you really want enabled.
Not sure about the wisdom of having all that stuff there and then switching it off in MSconfig/startup. Would it not be better to uninstall what you don't want any more? (Assuming that the uninstaller is well behaved and removes auto start entries from the registry and/or Start Up folder.)
Just a thought.
