When I log in both word and excel automatically open. Is there a way to stop them from opening on startup?

when I log in both word and excel automatically open. Is there a way to stop them from opening on startup?

I believe on new mac this is how it works by default. There is a preference to turn this 'feature' off.
You should look in you login items under accounts under system preferences.
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?

Quit them before shutting down the computer, and check the list of login items in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.

Open at Startup

Why is my .xls file that I have to "open at startup" in the Dock opening in TextEdit? Why won't it open in Excel?

I don't know. Since "open at login", not "launch at startup", is selected, AFAIK, that should work. Maybe you need to also open Excel at login to get it to work. However, a check of FInder->Help->Mac Help->search for *open at login* doesn't show that option in the *Opening items automatically when you log in* return. So, the Dock stuff might not work any longer. Try adding it to the login items and see if that fixes things.

Office for MAC 2011 Excel opening 17 workbooks upon open of program

Hello all,
My client is having an unusual error. When he opens Excel, or opens a workbook (.xlsx) all the workbooks on the computer open. When I counted, there were 17. We would like this to not occur, and to have only the program, or one workbook
that was meant to open come up.
Any information you need from me, please ask. I am not sure what to provide. He is using a MAC, with Office 2011 for MAC.
I will google this, and see if there is any information. Thank you all for your help.

It seems that the solution works for most people.
In a terminal, enter the following:
defaults write com.microsoft.Excel NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

Open firmware startup disk by default

I have an iMac which by default always goes to the open firmware startup disk screen. How do I get rid of this? I have tried zapping the PRAM, reinstalling the OS and a different hard drive. There are no problems w/ the functionality of the computer or the software and there are no symptoms to say that there is anything wrong w/ the computer. Just want to get rid of having to hit enter at the firmware startup disk screen every time I turn it on. Any suggestions please.

Mark, it appears that the defauly startup mode has been changed on your Mac.
Probably the easiest way to get back to normal is using a utility. I use the free utility OnyX. In OnyX go to Parameters>Login and at the bottom of the pane you can change your Mac's default startup mode.

Photoshop Elements opening on startup, despite having shut it down prior to closure.

I am running Elements 13 on a MacBook Air O SX Yosemite version 10.10.
After installation I encountered the following issues.
1)       Elements 13 Organiser application opened ok and transferred my photos from iPhoto.
2)       Elements 13 Application opened o.k
3)       Elements 13 Editor opened o.k
But latterly, when opening Elements 13 application after 1 second, the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
I have attempted to check the Installed files, to check if they are in the right location, cannot see any apparent issues.
Additionally on Start-UP Elements 13 starts automatically despite having quit the programme prior to closure.
Maybe if I completely re-installed Elements 13 the problems might go away.
Your earliest response would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards     David A Hullin

Barbara Hi!
Thanks for your quick response.
Sorry for the confusion regarding 2 Copies of Elements 13 Organiser.
What I intended to say is as follows:
On my Dock, after installing Elements 13, there are three adjacent Buttons for the Elements 13 Application from left to right:-
1 Elements 13 Organiser
2 Elements 13
3 Elements 13 Editor
MY ISSUES ARE:
1 Elements Organiser opens o.k.
HOWEVER:
2 Elements 13      (To import work from the Elements Organiser), the following happens:
This section of the application opens only briefly, (1.5 seconds, headed appropriately Elements 1 (But immediately reverts to a repeat copy of the Elements Organiser screen) which is activated by Button 1
Button 3 Elements 13 Editor (opens) O.K.
P.S   Initially the application was working O.K
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David A Hullin

the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
What do you mean by this? There is only one copy of Elements 13 organizer installed on any mac.
I would start by deleting the preferences and the saved application states for PSE:

How to keep finder in mountain lion from opening at startup

How to keep finder in mountain lion from opening at startup.?

Now you got me thinking....
One can set things up so Finder can be quit like any other application. In Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1
Then relaunch the Finder.
I guess it might be possible to make a an Applescript or Automator application which runs at start up and quits the Finder.

Export to Microsoft Excel opens empty - IE11, Office 2010, Win 7

Hi,
I am using IE11, Office 2010 and Win7 64bit. When I open IE, navigate to a webpage and click "Export to Microsoft Excel" from the context menu of IE, Excel opens and the "New Web Query" dialog has an empty address (http:///). The content
is
"This page can`t be displayed"
Does anyone know what might be the cause of this problem and how can I fix it?
Best Regards,
Jordan

Hi,
Please include a link to any webpage you are having issues with your questions so we can test the page....:
Any webpage ... it is not webpage specific rather an environmental problem.
javascript:alert(navigator.platform); :
Message from webpage
Win32
OK
Open Excel, switch to DATA, choose From Web , then try to import the website for test if it had same problem.:
It works unsurprisingly ...
When I open IE I can see in the Windows Task Manager there are 2 processes - a 64bit (~8MB RAM) and a 32bit one (~70 MB RAM)
My Office 2010 is a 32bit.
If I open it directly a 32bit excel process is stared.
If I open it via the "Export to Microsoft Excel" menu two 32bit excel processes are started. I believe one is for the New Web Query and another one for the Excel itself ..
Best Regards,
Jordan

MS Excel launches on Startup

When I turn on computer, MS Excel launches. Item is not in start-up folder. This started happening all of a sudden. Any suggestions on how to stop this behavior?

Hi,
I can't say I have heard of that one before. It's a beauty! I'd guess the first thing to do would be to delete the MS Office.plist preference file. Just type MS Office.plist into the search box in a finder window. When you locate the '.plist' file just delete it and empty the trash. Restart your computer and see if Excel opens again. I'm looking forward to following this one. Please post back with your progress.
Cheers!

Why do my CD drives open at startup?

Lately my CD/DVD drives open at startup and close about a minute later. I have no idea why this started. How can I disable this?
Thanks,
Jim

Right about the time the Apple logo shows up, both trays open. Maybe 5 minutes later they close.
I have zapped PRAM but that did not fix it.

Why does word and excel open automatically at login, there is no check in front of Open at Login

Every time I boot up the system OS X 10.9, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel open automatically. When I click on W and E on the dock and right click Options, there is not a check mark beside "Open at Login". It is 4 extra steps each morning to close the word and excel screens that open.
Thanks for any suggestions.

When you shutdown do you uncheck this box:
Also, check here:
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Select your user account > Login Items

Finder window opens on startup - alternate cause

I just had this problem come up, and it took quite a lot of digging to find out why. I thought I would post the cause of my particular problem and it's solution as a reference for others who have been unsuccessful at stopping a finder window from loading at startup.
For reference, here's what I tried that didn't work:
- Looked for the Finder listed in Preferences>Accounts>Login Items (wasn't there)
- Deleted User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.Finder.plist, restarted the dock, restarted computer.
- Changed background wallpaper (some said this worked for them)
I noticed in the Login Items something called "gstlauncherdaemon". As it turns out, this is part of the GimmeSomeTunes app. It causes the app to start when iTunes is launched. Well, apparently, it's also causing a Finder window to open on startup. You can disable this feature in the GimmeSomeTunes preferences. Personally I wanted to keep this feature, but couldn't stand the window. So I deleted the app and it's associated .plist file with AppZapper. The "gstlauncherdaemon" is no longer listed under Login Items and no window showed up on restart.
Hope this helps some who have been going mad over this like me. So if you've recently installed this app and are having a similar problem, it may very well be the culprit.

thanks for sharing this. I've seen a number of posts by people struggling (unsuccessfully) with a finder window opening at login. I don't know if any of them use GimmeSomeTunes but this is certainly something to consider.
