Sorry, I found it. It's in the registry. Strange that the registry
removal program didn't fix that...

So, to summarize:

With Firebird running as a service I am still unable to use gsec on the
command line without specifying the "-database" switch. But, if I use
"-database localhost:<blah>" it works fine, even though I'm using the
superserver. I'm willing to chalk this up to some strange problem with
this server as it doesn't affect my application.

With Firebird running as an application, I can use gsec without
specifying the "-database" switch.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Indeed. My installation is definitely screwed up. However, it appears
that Firebird is using some mechanism other than the "Startup" folder to
start a new firebird server when I log in. I did what you recommended,
but Firebird still starts up whenever I log in. I even removed and
reinstalled Firebird with a reboot in between and it still happens.

Do you know what mechanism it uses to start Firebird on login?

You have a screwed-up installation. Two things you need to do are:

1) Go into your Windows Start MEnu/Startup and delete any shortcuts
there
for Firebird
2) Shut down the serveice, then go into the bin directory of your
firebird
installation in a command window. Run the program instreg.exe twice.
The
first time
instreg.exe -r

the second time
instreg.exe -i

That should do it.
