Daly:

Thanks but it doesn't seem to be on my system (at least the finder  
couldn't find it) and I looked in the applications folder its *NOT*  
there.
I am unsure how to check the login items (I couldn't find it) but I  
am sure it is there. I remember setting it up but do not remember  
giving it permission to save its self. I was just evaluating the  
product.
I am really happy now that I did not get the product as I dislike any  
product that doesn't ask permission to save the settings permanently.
