My G5 (leopard 10.5.8) boots automatically each morning to be ready
for me soon after. I have a list of startup items with all but Mail
and the Finder Window set to hide. Word, Excel and iTunes are
rogues and stay open. I have removed obvious possible third party
interferers with no result. Does anyone have a suggestion please?
Unfortunately, some applications ignore the Hide command when set at
startup :(
The way I get around this is have different applications open in
different SPACES.
This also has the main benefit of having different work spaces for
different things and can help minimize distractions for say iTunes,
Mail and file transfers when working on an important document.
Set the offending apps to open in ANY other space except Space 1 and
you won't see them at startup :)
Space can take a bit of getting used too, but if you run it constantly
for a week you'll wonder how you ever lived with out it. I have Nine
enabled on my main workstation and Four on my laptop
