There is an icon that shows up at every start up.
It is a camera application for sure, but I couldn’t find what it is neither from task manager/startup nor from programfiles/x86?
It shows as disconnected, therefore I can’t start the application.
Open property page, special effect, snap shot, zoom, face tracking are all grayed out and the only option is exit.
I couldn’t even make the icon bigger.
Does this sound familiar?
It is a newly installed OS and probably hundred drivers and programs were installed in one day, so it is hard to figure out which one was that.

P.S.: Nothing related, but it is 6 am on a Sunday morning and (I am guessing) a lady, is cleaning the house with a loud cleaning machine.

P.S. 2: I am a new Windows 8 user and I would like to say hello to all from both from seven forums and new from eight forums.

I found out what it was.
It was tsnp2std.exe, a Microsoft Windows application.
The icon was so poorly designed that I never thought it would be a Microsoft application. I thought that it was an application installed with the driver of a camera. That is why I was looking for an unknown publisher, not Microsoft.
I disabled it. Why was a camera application was in startup in Windows? It was disconnected anyway.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.


P.S: I couldn’t do that command line thing though.
