Logitech Hardware Abstraction Layer
Part of the Logitech Setpoint software for their wired and wireless mice and trackballs. Sets the Windows mouse sensitivity to minimum. The idea is that you will use the SetPoint Control Panel to adjust your mouse sensitivity. This setting is maintained separately from the Windows setting, but is combined with the Windows setting to determine the final sensitivity. For this reason, KHALMNPR sets the Windows setting to 0 so it doesn't alter the one you set in SetPoint

Logitech Wakeup
Loads at startup and monitors the scanner. When a document is inserted in the scanner the wakeup program feeds the document a fraction of a inch into the scanner and then it launches the control center software. From the control center you can select whether to fax or copy or print the scanned documents. If you uncheck the Logitech wakeup software from the startup it no longer launches the control center or feeds the document a fraction of an inch. You can manually launch the control center software via Start ->Programs and still be able to scan images
