UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


{60} Missing startup possibility;
It turns out that /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist can also contain "startup items" ...

Symantec Antivirus starts its daemons with the following entries in that file:

<dict>
<key>Hide</key>
<false/>
<key>Path</key>
<string>/Library/Application Support/Norton Solutions Support/SymQuickMenu/SymQuickMenu.app</string>

The HP printer driver also installs an event handler that way and the LaCie Shortcut button daemon is in there too.

I had the devil of a time figuring the Symantec part out as I had to do an Archive and Install but the stupid daemons kept reappearing but were crippled.
