You can either disable one entry in msconfig or delete one of the entries in your registry. As I recall the location is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\and then there are various folders called Run something where most of the entries are for stuff that starts when your machine boots (This thing is dumb - from HKEY on should be one line but it won't show it that way).
One's in Run Services, I forget where the other is because I deleted it ages ago: probably Run or RunOnce.
You should know that two instances of PowerProfile _is_ the standard default - it's not an error. There is some obscure reason that I can't recall now for two instances being started, but lots of people delete one of them - it seems to lead to less crashes from RunDll, and some people delete both instances.
If you're Ok with the registry, that's cool: but don't mess with it if you're not; just disable one of the instances in msconfig. And if you do delete one or both registry entries, make sure you back them up first.
