Another Canon ScanGear multiple button managers solution

We previously reported that Canon's ScanGear installer - for the company's scanners and all-in-one devices - provides two active button managers by default, regardless of which scanner you have.

Our published workaround, which worked for a number of readers, involved xxxU_ButtonManager from the Login PrefPane. However, some reported that the extra button manager continued to run and generate errors after deleting the PrefPane. Ron Robertson offers an alternative solutions:

"I went to the usersyourloggedinusernameShared and removed the folder titled NO67U. Now, the Console Window no longer continues to fill-up with search information."

While there are apparently no performance or scanner function issues associated with the extraneous button manager, it does produce errors that are recorded in the Console log file - which can grow quite large for a machine not reset or logged out for long periods of time.
