Cannot find startup location

Thank you for the suggestion but this finds far less than Autoruns.

The problems seems to have found its own cure.

Hi all

I just updated Canon scanner drivers. Now, each time I start the PC, it
loads CSTBox.exe.

After looking at the usual suspect locations, I ran Sysinternals Autoruns
and still found nothing. Does anyone know where I might find what is
starting this program?

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll say CSTBox.exe means something
like Canon Scanner Tool Box.


No limb is necessary. I own a Canon Scanner too, and I can confirm
that that's exactly what CSTBox is.

The Canon Scanner Toolbox is the program used to scan something and
send it wherever you want--printer, e-mail, pdf, OCR program, etc.
However at least here, it does not start automatically.

So, you cannot explain why it was starting itself automatically?

I said 'was' in the above because it did not start by itself this morning.
Yet, for about five re-starts after upgrading the drivers, it loaded itself
each time, as if one of the button is pressed. The scanner is well clear of
accidental button-touching. So, its not a case of accidental activation.
Since nobody can offer an alternate start-up location, I'll put it down to
intermittent failure of one of the switches and disconnect the USB lead when
not required.
