Further to my post on my HP 4200C scanner woes, under WIn2K, I have been
trying to follow advise fm HP to reinstall the software.

I tried running the installation software, and, realising I had
neglected an earlier step, aborted the setup.

Now, each time I restart my machine, I get a dialogue, titled "HP
PrecisionScan LT set-up" saying "no digital signature".

I can't delete two of the components of the installation software:

        hpupgrade.exe
        mfc42.dll

because, Windows says, they're in use.

How can I stop this running on start-up? Is it a registry setting?
There's nothing in the StartUp folder.
