Automatic Excel startup

My Macbook recently started automatically loading Excel upon startup. Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks for your help.

Go into System Preferences >> Accounts >> Your Account >> Login Items and then Excel should be in that list. Select Excel and click the minus sign.
Hope that helped.

  • Should I be able to reliable automate Excel 2000 on a Windows 2000 PC using Labview 7?

    I am trying to automate Excel 2000 from Labview 7. I want to open an Excel application, open an existing workbook or create a new workbook, create a new sheet, save and exit. When using the Labview 7 .vi's I can create a new workbook, etc, and everything works fine. When the case in my program for existing file executes I can start Excel but I cannot open an existing worksheet (error -2146959355). I've selected a file using the labview file dialogue just to ensure spelling, case, etc but it always fails on the "open specific workbook" sub .vi and the first error is on the output of the "invoke node".
    Out of curiosity I tried doing this in Labview 6.1 and after a cursory check ev
    erything seems to work ok using the exact same sequence of .vi's. I am running Excel 2000 on Windows 2000. Should there be a compatibility issue? Would using the version 6.1 vi's within Labview 7 be a clean solution?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for responding.
    I made a little vi to illustrate the problem.
    The two sub .vi's I'm including with the main .vi are simply the renamed Version 6.1 and Version 7 "open specific workbook" .vi's. The main .vi was made in Version 7. All the other sub .vi's are V 7.
    On my PC (Windows 2000 and Excel 2000) when the switch is set to "Version 6.1" it consistenly runs fine, set to "Version 7" it consistently fails.
    I am very stumped! I've gone so far as to copy the V7 .llb from a different installation just in case something got corrupted somehow.

  • How do I get an app to launch automatically on startup?

    I downloaded an app (*.wcz) file that links to a clock on the desktop background.
    Clicking the app displays the background from http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaperclocks/ and the clock and date work.
    When I shut down and start up again, the screen reverts to the previously selected background.
    Is there any way to launch this wallpaper + clock automatically on startup?

    Hi, if the App is in the Dock, right click, choose Options>Open at login.
    Or System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window, drag the App there or click on the tiny plus icon to add it.

  • How to set kernel parameter max-shm-memory automatically at startup

    Hi,
    We have a 11.1.0.7 Database on Solaris Sparc 10 64-bit server. We have settings of max-shm-memory as below;
    -bash-3.00# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project default
    project: 3: default
    NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
    project.max-shm-memory
            privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
            system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
    -bash-3.00# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
    project: 0: system
    NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
    project.max-shm-memory
            privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
            system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
    Whenever we restart the db the second one is lost;
    bash-3.00$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project default
    project: 3: default
    NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
    project.max-shm-memory
            privileged      50.0GB      -   deny                                 -
            system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
    bash-3.00$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
    prctl: system: No controllable process found in task, project, or zone.
    So our sys admin has to configure them again whenever we restart our db. How could I do this automatically at startup without counfiguring again from command prompt?
    Thanks,
    Hatice

    Ok it is clear now. I have one more question.  When I check system I get below error;
    # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project system
    prctl: system: No controllable process found in task, project, or zone.
    Document says; The reason for the message reported above is because there is no active process(es) belong to the project.
    But it is impossible for us because according to our project settings its for root user;
    bash-3.00$ cat /etc/project
    system:0::root::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
    user.root:1::::
    noproject:2::::
    default:3::oracle::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
    group.staff:10::::
    oracle:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,53687091200,deny)
    Is it because I check with oracle user and I don't have sufficient privileges or there is something wrong with it?
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop launches automatically at startup

    Suddenly Photoshop launches automatically at startup. Probably a consequence of running the vacuum cleaner brush over the keyboard live! How can I control this option? I have found nothing related in the startup items folder.
    Thanks!
    Paul

    Nothing in System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items to do with Photoshop? That's normally the only way things start automatically.

  • How do i make the database open automatically at startup in solaris?

    How do i make the database open automatically at startup in solaris?

    need to write a shell script that is invoked from /etc/init.d/ and soft link the following:
    ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc2.d/K99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc1.d/K99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc0.d/K99oracle
            ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rcS.d/K99oracleThe shell script should be pretty straight forward.

  • Automate BIP Startup/Shutdown with OMS

    Is there any way to automate the startup/shutdown of BI Publisher when the OMS is started/stopped? This would really come in handy instead of manually having to start/stop these components.
    Thanks,

    Current release does not have auto stop/start of BIP when OMS is bounced.

  • Hi, sorry this is so basic, but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

    sorry this is so basic but how do I stop certain applications starting automatically on startup?

    Is this for a computer model or an iDevice model? If the former you've posted in the wrong forum. But here's the answer.
    Open General preferences in System Preferences. There are two options you can check that affect this behavior:
    Check the boxes you thing you prefer. When you next shutdown the computer you should be asked in a dialog about reopening applications on restart. Select the option to not reopen.

  • Automatically creating startup items with a new account

    I'm managing some Macs on an Active Directory network. They're all tied in and working fine as AD connected computers, but as an administrator of these Macs I'd like to make it so that when a user logs in to the domain, the Mac automatically adds some startup items to their account. (We don't have network home directories or anything like that) Is there some way I can setup an AppleScript or some default settings somewhere to handle this?

    the answer might depend on whether you are creating the accounts or allowing the users to create their own. I would think it shoudl be possible to create an AppleScript or an Automator job that woudl prompt for the correct information and the create the new user and copy the necessary file(s) and make the necessary settings.

  • Microsoft Word launches automatically at startup

    This is an unusual situation. Most people can't get MS Word to launch or it crashes.
    I have the opposite. When I log into my MacBook Pro, Microsoft Word for Office 2004 launches automatically. This has just started about a month ago and I've had Office 2004 since 2005.
    1. There is no file in "Startup" that would start MS Word
    2. I've deleted the MS Word preferences file several times to combat and that hasn't worked
    3. I've removed all temp files from the Microsoft folder on my username/home --> Documents --> Microsoft folder
    And, I get the following in Console when I log in (an example from July 18th):

  • How to make a physical standby DB mounted automatically on startup of a PC?

    Hi,
    I have a physical standby DB 10.2 on a PC under windows XP. This is a Data Guard configuation. If the PC reboot, I would like the DB to start mount automatically. After that, the Data guard will automatically pout the DB in recovery mode.
    I have tried this approach :
    start automatically the DB (using ORADIM to configure the service).
    Unfortunately when this happens, the database is OPEN which is not the right mode. It should be "mounted".
    How to do ?
    Thank you for your kind help.
    Christian

    These solutions only work until the database fails over or switches over. To properly implement this you need to find out the database role:
    select database_role from v$database;
    If it is a PRIMARY then you want to open the database otherwise you want to mount it. Oracle recommends (Doc ID 883196.1) using Data Guard Broker to accomplish this. DGMGRL starts the database according to the database_role.
    On Windows:
    1. Set ORA_SID_AUTOSTART to false in the Windows registry.
    2. Schedule a batch job to perform the following when the server is started:
    set ORACLE_SID=<sid of database>
    dgmgrl / "startup"
