Create a list of startup items' paths
I got pref Setter and I just see these values
using Prefs Setter
In Pref Setter, for whatever reason, the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist file is listed as "loginwindow" in the Open Domain Quickly menu.
maybe NOT prefs setter
OK, since I don't have a faulty file to work on I can't seem to confirm whether Prefs Setter is even looking at the correct file (I suspect the correct file is the one listed under System Preferences). You may need to edit the file by hand in the terminal.
First, you will need to convert the binary com.apple.loginwindow.plist back into an ASCII file. See this hint on how to use the plutil command to achieve this. You don't necessarily need to convert the file back to binary. Then, use your favorite command line editor to open the file and remove the lines that contain the HP applications. You will want to remove everything between and for each instance of the HP application. I have done this on several occasions, so I know it works. Also, you may be able to manually open the preference file in Prefs Setter to edit the plist, but you may also need to run Prefs Setter as root to save the changes.

Why does everyone complain about the .plist file being binary?
maybe NOT prefs setter
Because some people don't have the developer tools installed, and installing developer tools to get at that one app is a bit of overkill.
maybe NOT prefs setter
Ah, OK. Didn't realise that was a dev tool.

Hi, I'm the developer of Pref Setter, I can clear up this issue. There are actually three preference files with loginwindow in them. /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist (which is listed under the "System Preferences" part of the Open Domain Quickly window), HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist, and HOME/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist. It's that last file (just listed as loginwindow in the Open Domain Quickly window) that holds the Login Items. Hope that helps clear this up |
