I use a Bamboo dock instead of a mouse. I don't need the "Bamboo Dock" software, but it opens on start-up every time. When I go to the start-up items area of my user controls, that software package is listed but grayed out--no way to delete it, unlike the other items.
How to remove it (besides shutting it down manually after every boot)?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7), mid-2011 i5
Try going to system preferences/users&groups login items tab and if it is there highlight it and clcik the minus sign.
Also try double clicking your HD in the left sidebar click Library, then start up items and see if there you can delete it.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply. Suggestion #1 just led to the same startup-items screen I'd been working with. The Bamboo software is grayed out and unchangeable (it also says "all users," unlike the other login items.)
I went into the Library > Startup Items folder, but it was empty (?).
I found this on the Bamboo Dock ssupport forum page
OPen Bamboo Dock, click on the Gear icon to select the settings, then use 'my dock'. Below the language selection, there is an option to start BambooDock with the computer at system start. Deselect this to avoid the automatic start.

Kudos to Wacom, i'm simply reprinting his suggestion here, hopefully this can help you out.
Though I know nothing about this "Bamboo" stuff
I found this documentation on the following website
