[QUOTE="CallMeMatt, post: 1406464, member: 253278"] I had the same question... Every time I started my Mac (or logged in?), HID Explorer would start up, with the dock icon called SpyroPortalDriver. I could see that there was a SpyroPortal folder in /Applications, but I couldn't figure out how it was launching itself on startup. Eventually I figured it out. ;) Look in /Library/LaunchAgents/. I had a SpyroDriverDaemon.plist file sitting there. I moved it to my desktop, restarted, and voila, problem solved! I prefer this approach because, if I want to run the SpyroPortalDriver, I still can by launching it from /Applications/SpyroPortal/. This is on Snow Leopard... Not sure if it works the same way on Lion. I'm also not sure if the driver works the same way whether it's run by launchd at startup / login or manually. But at least it isn't autorunning any more.
