You Can Get The Entry By This Command:

wmic startup get Location | findstr /B /C:"TwonkyServer"

Then Delete It From Registry

Reg delete [{/v ValueName | /ve | /va}] [/f]

I don't know if you can achieve it through WMI console, but through VBS try providing a priviliged moniker string in reference to the system:
