I don't have a folder called "StartupItems" in my Library folder. I don't have LaunchDaemons either.
Is there a "see hidden folders" box I need to check or something? haha.
Only one thing shows up there. MediaLink (which I bought recently). No luck there. :/
Have you looked into Macintosh HD > Library for a Startup Items folder or in Macintosh HD > Users > You > Library?
It's in Macintosh HD > Library.
Also to view hidden files and folders in Finder, open Terminal and paste the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To hide those files again, replace TRUE with FALSE.

do a Finder search for "WDNotifier" with Filename clicked and System files included and right click and choose Open Enclosing Folder to see where it is.
You should have two Library folders. The first is just in Macintosh HD, the second will be in your own home folder (the same folder that your Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. folders are in). Check them both for those things first, it may be in the one you didn't look in

This helped a lot. Thanks so much.
