ANY advice appreciated.Customer bought 3 of these to replace older PC's
as folks go on vacation this summer. :

They come with " HP network " softwa
www.hp.com/go/worryfree ,
that is totally not needed at this user's site.
I saw all of these SQL items listed in system event log ... over and
over and over and wondering " why does this box have SQL ? " , then
noticed that it's related to this HP stuff.
I tried control panel - hoping for a CONFIG or CHANGE option to turn
each off, but that's not an option. Only uninstall - which biz owner
doesn't want to do - Yet.
Is there a way to NOT have all of this SQL/HP specific stuff running on
these models ?
Is it a matter of reg hacks or is there some app at HP that can disable
it all ?
Box came with no paperwork about it - just a readme file that shows how
to USE it - not disable it. Irritating pop-ups in systray that " this
isn't configured yet" and " click here to register" , yada yada
yada... When I clicked it , it wants me to REGISTER with the domain
server. The dell server doesn't know about this HP sw. It's a small shop
and no one there would even notice if server logs errors.
The sw is designed for a domain with remote sites so admin's can
monitor/ control pc remotely etc. HP icon in systray for every
account and can't turn it off ( via HP menus)
When I log on as "Admin" account, there are popups in systray for :
- Protect Tools
- Encryption manager
- Client Mgr
- Intel vPro
etc
Back to HP site/ Google - to see if any pointers.
ANY advice/ info appreciated.
