HP Easy Printer Care

[abrehm]

Ok, I'm sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep the HP Easy Printer Care from automatically loading with windows starts up.  I have gone through msconfig and removed it from the start up and it still loads.  I dont see an option in the program either to keep it from automatically loading, is there anyway to prevent this?

Thanks,
andy

Andy, why wouldn't you want it to automatically load?  It monitors your printer.

I'm kinda picky with how my system runs and what loads at startup.  It also seems like it takes unnecessary resources to monitor my printer when I dont even print everyday.  Im sure its silly reasoning, but I just dont like things I dont use much running in the background using up system resources.

I take it everyone else lets it load with windows?

Yep I let it run in the background.  Unless you are running low on resources I do not see a reason that you would want to kill it off...

I belive you should get rid of it if you remove it from the Start -> All programs -> Startup folder.

Yep.   It doesn't seem to eat up enough resources to be a concern but I suppose that depends on your system.
