Hi,
Either try to remove the entry from the start Up menu by going to the
windows Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up = look in the
right pane/window for the entry and Delete it.

Or in the Registry Key:

[-] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run = Look
in the right pane/window and remove the entry.

If you want to remove the check box/Tick click on it once to deactivate it.

Uninstall the Printer driver, then run Disk Clean up on your Disk and go to
the Printer manufacturer website to download the latest Driver for it (same
Specs) and reinstall it, pay attention on the option to install, you can
elect to Custom install rather than Typical install.
Make sure the system clean from malware and your Profiles/Account is not
damaged or corrupted.

Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Hi Man,
This can be from your Printer, did you installed a printer recently or added
features to it?.
You can use the AutoRuns.exe from Microsoft to see this Key:
AutoRuns for Windows v8.73
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Autoruns.mspx

the key is:
[-] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
