I had a nice, clean boot -- cleaned out or suppressed all the scum programs
that insisted on loading on startup just in case they might be used. Then I
installed my HP Laserjet 1012, and there's an added 30 sec each time I boot.
I looked in the HP folder under the start menu, and had a nice warm fuzzy
feeling, those nice HP guys gave me an option to cut out at least some of
this -- but it doesn't work.
Under start menu, run "hp Device Status and Alerts"
A box pops up that asks
"Would you like to start hp Device Status and Alerts automatically the next
time Windows is restarted?"
and allows me to change a selection from
"Yes, start again after reboot" to
"No, don't start automatically"
which I do (and then click on OK).
Alas, this has no effect on startup, and every time the selection (it's a
little dot not a checkmark) has changed back to "Yes, start again after
reboot".
Can anyone tell me how to make this go away?
without using selective startup under msconfig?
