Enabling or disabling HP Toolbox support
The registry entry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, with the value
HP Status controls the HP Toolbox. This entry runs HPSTATUS.EXE every time the system is
started. When you close the HP Toolbox by right-clicking the Toolbox tray icon and selecting Exit,
you are prompted to restart the HP Toolbox on startup. If you select No, don't start automatically,
this entry is removed.
To start status manually, select the Start|Run menu, and type HPSTATUS.
Manually uninstalling HP Toolbox in Macintosh Operating Systems
The HP Toolbox must be uninstalled manually in a Macintosh OS. To uninstall the HP Toolbox
manually, follow these instructions:
1 Delete the following application:
Library/Startup Items/hp ToolboxStartup
NOTE The HP Toolbox cannot be uninstalled when it is in use. Because the HP Toolbox
runs at startup time, either quit the program before deleting it, or move it into the trash bin
and restart the computer.
2 Delete the following file:
Applications/Utilities/hp toolbox.webloc 3
3 Navigate to the Library/Printers/hp/Utilities/folder, and delete all files that have "Toolbox" in the
name.
