The program is from Microsoft, however they don't have a help page
associated with it.

The program name, downloaded from Microsoft, is called tfrcable_x86. In
"Add/Remove programs" it is called Windows Easy Transfer. It is used to
migrate data/files from an older version of Windows on another PC to a
(different) Vista-based PC. Clicking on the program in "Add/remove..."
brings up a 'for support' box linking to Microsoft
<<http:support.microsoft.com/kb/wetcable>>. No page is there for support (at
least not yet).

Opening the program only allows you to start up a session to begin file
transfers. It does not allow you to 'disable on start-up.' In fact, as far
as I can tell it really should not be starting up at all during startup, but
it is nonetheless.

Thanks again for your interest and assistance.
