I asked the others in the house (who are computer phobe's and know nothing about computers) and got the standard answer... not me. So its a mystery.

This is the standard answer....this is also the most likely reason that things got changed...

Personally i'd set up a limited User account for the others in the House...Programs downloaded, installs, ect.....

Or it could be your local ghost.I have a HP printer model psc 2115

This comes complete with  C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard
and this holds 186 MBytes in 2536 Files and 140 Folders.

I do not know what was INSTALLED with / for your printer,
but I would not be surprised if it included a change of start-up to RUN a service or something that might either be essential for its smooth running, or could assist a quicker response when you TRY to print or scan an image or whatever else it might be able to do.

A computer is "normally" configured to require a password on start-up.
If the only mistake HP MADE was to impose a "default" start-up instead of your preferred configuration, then COUNT yourself very lucky.  Far worse mistakes are common - otherwise forums like this would not be needed !!!
