Adobe Gamma Loader.exe

Installed by Photoshop, ImageReady and some other Adobe products used to help calibrate your monitor. This program can be used by any application which supports ICC profiles.

From Adobe.com:
By calibrating your monitor at the system level, Adobe Gamma enables you to eliminate unwanted color casts from your monitor and to obtain the best display possible for your work environment. In addition, Adobe Gamma characterizes your monitor by means of an ICC profile, which is a file that includes a description of the characteristics of your monitor. This profile can be used by any application that uses ICC profiles to compensate for a monitor's color-display limitations. Accurately calibrating and characterizing your monitor is the crucial first step in developing a color-managed workflow.

The Photoshop installer installs Adobe Gamma control panel (Adobe Gamma.cpl) into the Windows/System folder (Windows Me and 98) or the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Calibration (Windows 2000), and it installs the Adobe Gamma loader application (Adobe Gamma Loader.exe) into the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Calibration folder. In addition, it installs a shortcut to the Adobe Gamma Loader application in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup folder (Windows Me and 98) or the Documents and Settings/All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Setup (Windows 2000). As a result, the Adobe Gamma loader application appears in the Start > Programs > Startup menu and starts automatically during Windows startup.

While loading Adobe Gamma.cpl during Windows startup, the Adobe Gamma Loader application applies settings in the Adobe Gamma.cpl file to the system and applies calibration settings you saved for your monitor at the system level.
