Which program looks for scanner on startup

I was recently able to install a Visioneer 7600 on my WIN XP system. Since I do not leave the scanner connected to the USB port most of the time, when I boot up WIN looks for the scanner 3 times. On WIN98 I was able to determine which programs were necessary to prevent the OS from trying to load the scanner, e.g., fbdirect, instantaccess, stillimagemonitor and registerdrophandler. I looked at WINini but do not see anything. When I start msconfig and look at the start up programs, the only familiar one is fbdirect. Does anyone know which program turns off the loading command?
Thanks.

 

ackerberg - XP (or any NT based system) does not use win.ini, system.ini, autoexec.* or config.* (* indicating any ending) to start up. They are there in case older apps need them but are not part of the boot up process at all.
