SGI Keystroke Server in your Login Items?

SGI Keystroke Server in your Login Items?

CNET staff
If you find a item called SGI Keystroke Server in your Login Items list, it probably comes from Bare Bones' Super Get Info. It is what allows Super Get Info to be accessed by the Command-Shift-I keyboard shortcut. As Jan Costenbader found in the docs for the software:

"Super Get Info will add the keystroke server to the Login Items in your System Preferences automatically. The SGI Keystroke Server resides inside the Super Get Info application package. If you're trying the Super Get Info demo version, the keystroke server will be removed from your Login Items when the demo period expires."

Interestingly, we have two copies of this application in our Login Items list. As we had installed both a demo and a licensed copy of Super Get Info at different times, perhaps the demo version copy was not deleted as intended? We are investigating.

Meanwhile, it occurs to us that it would helpful if the Login Items window had an option to "reveal" the location of the items in its list.

Update: James Sorenson replies: "If you wish to remove the SGI Keystroke Server from Login Items without having Super Get Info (SGI) re-install it every time, just de-select the 'Use in Finder' preference in SGI's preferences."
