 This sounds like one too many to me. What paths do they have? And do they
 have any command-line options?
 
 On my machine, the commandline for Service Manager is:
 
 "E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlmangr.exe"  /n
 
 I tested to run this from a command-line window. Without /n the application
 would appear as a window. With /n it only showed in the tray, which is
 the way I normally want it.

 The scm application is "Service Control Manager", an application I did
 not have any knowledge prior to reading your post. The purpose appears to
 be to autostart the ASUS\ENCOREPRO service. A more normal way to do this
 would be to configure the service as Automatic in Services under Computer
 Management.

 I hope you have had other reasons for reformatting than just getting
 rid of the pop-up!
