As mentioned, the Mac re-opens the apps you had open when you shut down. You can change this in System Preferences if you want to. I like it, since there is a set of programs I would always have to open anyway, as they stay open all the time; this way I just boot up, and whatever I was doing is

1. Opne System Preferences, choose "users and groups", and find your account in the table. 2. Click the "login times" tab and go to the table of applications 3. Check the box for each one you do not want to start. Note, too, that your Mac will probably launch all programs you had open when you s

Not sure how this happened but I now have several programs, Amadeus, Pages and Prismo in particular, launching at start. I do not want these programs to do so. How do I stop them? Thanks! Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
