CurrentVersion wasn't listed? It will be the first one after you double click Windows. Either you're in the wrong place, or your registry is broken! lol

"Software" as in the registry, or in the "Startup" folder in the start menu? If registry, no. Otherwise, yes.

You know, you could probably alter the startup status of those applications from their option menus. Just poke around in their menus for something like "run on startup" or "run on bootup" or something similar. I doubt you won't be able to.

Good luck!
