How would I know? How could I find out? I tried a Finder Search (Cmd- F) looking for files with names ending in "growlRegDict", and the only place they show up is in the Revovered Files folder in the Trash. If they are being created in /tmp or someplace Spotlight doesnt' search, then I'd never see them (which is what's happening). I can say that the date-time stamp on each file in Trash indicates several of them are created when I Startup. But "where" or "what" creates them eludes me. > > > 2.

I don't have any Login Startup Items about Growl or GrowlMenu. Why should I? I didn't install Growl... it was installed as a side-effect of installing Adium. > > > 3.

When I open System Preferences, and click on "Growl", three things happen: 1. Growl's icon appear on the munu-bar. 2. System Preferences says "Growl is running" (but I didn't start it. and don't have "Start Growl at login"). 3. Another instance of the "...growlRegDict" file is created somewhere I can find. I know that because the file appears in Recovered Files in the Trash when I restart, with the date-time stamp of when I opened System Preferences -> Growl. So I would suspect those files are created by Growl itself.
