Hello all,

After recently installing some Microtek scanner software, I found that the "scanner finder" part of the software bundle is set to open at startup. I'm mildly annoyed at this becuase I very rarely use the scanner, and would like to keep my dock as clean as possible, but when I went to system preferences > accounts > log-in items, the program is not there. What gives? Come to think of it, there are several programs that I KNOW are set to startup at login which aren't listed either (Pathfinder for one). Is there some other list? There's no way to set this in the program itself.

The only other thing I can think of is a preference setting in the program, but since you say you cant set it there, I have no idea.
