Hi Missy, Go into system preferences, users and groups, and find the login items tab. There you can configure what items will start upon login, and even hide wants you want minimized but still started.

I'm posting this to the list because other folks seem to be asking about it as well. I don't know how to explain it any more than I already have. I'm using the version of growl purchased from the itunes store: currently version 1.3.2. I somehow got the impression that the older version of growl wouldn't work with lion, and it wasn't expensive, so I went for it. I think what's confusing everyone is that the new growl installs in the apps folder as opposed to the way it worked under snow leopard where it was configured under system preferences. The new way actually makes sense to me, but I'm wondering if all my issues with things refusing to run at startup might have been resolved by using the old version. Anyway, with this new version, all you have to do is find it in your apps folder, open it and you'll see all the preferences. Under general, the last button is more downloads. I actually got growl tunes and growl saphari from the extras folder under growl 1.22, but I think you can also get them from the button I just described. I just can't figure out how to insure that all the extras run at startup, and so far, nobody is answering that; they're just asking me more questions. LOL! Basicly, I guess my question at this point is how the heck to add stuff to startup on the mac. I know people clame to run skype or their twitter client at startup, but how is it done. If someone can tell me that, then I think I'll be all set with getting all the various growl tools to work on a permanent basis. I don't know if there's a place I can find documentation to answer my questions. Anyway, once you track down all the extras you want, you'll go to the growl tool bar, again, this is in your apps folder and you just open growl to find it. Go to applications and start tweeking stuff the way you want. Good luck.

I never knew you could do all that stuff with Growl, it'd make my life a lot easier. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Missy Hoppe Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 8:39 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: More Growl questions You just open the growl app from your apps folder and you'll be in the settings panel. Go to applications and work from there. Still can't figure out how to insure that all various extras run at startup, though. I really want them all to work at all times, but I know the hardware growler in particular won't do anything unless I open it manually. Still trying to figure out about the others. Is there a startup folder I can add them to like in windows to be sure they'll run? -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jessica Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 12:30 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: More Growl questions Oh cool, will look into that; how do you go about configuring them, or is it as simple as setting them up?
