How to disable auto-restore in Pages (Lion)

I'm sure this has been asked before but the search function can't find the answer.
It's the dreaded auto-restore when Pages is started -- "hey, here's the last document you were working on!!"  Grrr! If I wanted it, I'd open it once I invoked the application.
How do you prevent this from happening? I have been to System Preferences:General and removed the check from "Restore windows when quitting" This has no impact on Pages.
I tried looking under $HOME/Library/Saved Application State to see if there was a file there I could tweak to turn off autorestore for Pages but there wasn't.
Thanks for any insight on how to get rid of this stupid "feature."

Select "Close Windows when Quitting and Application" in System Prefrences, General, third panel.

  • How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

    Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
    It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
    I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

    How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
    Hi Team,
    I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
    When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
    Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
    I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
    Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
    Regards
    Sakshi

    How to disable auto charge of iPhone via PC?

    I'm thinking you may have the concern of not overcharging or messing with charge cycles of your phone, but according to apple the Li-ion batteries in iDevices work this way for example
    -Your phone has 50% battery left, you charge it
    -after using again, you're back with 50 and charging it till full once again makes it 1 charge cycle
    Doesn't work like nickel batteries.

  • Disabling auto-restore for .doc files in Pages

    Perhaps the most infuriating feature of Lion is the auto-restore feature that assumes you want to open previous documents every time you use the app (a bewildering assumption). So fine, I go into the system preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps". The problem is, this setting does not seem to affect the restoration of Word documents (.doc or .docx); these documents restore as if the setting was checked, and moreover, they are in an unsaved ("Untitled") state, so I not only have to manually close the document, but I have to tell it not to save it as well.
    This is clearly a bug, but is there a workaround?

    My inactive Pages is using 85MB right now, but I have 1.5GB free. If I needed that memory and Pages were still inactive, the system would write it out to virtual memory. If your wife's system is slow it's a problem with active processes or badly coded ones. (Or, as Peter pointed out, too little RAM to begin with.)
    Maybe the problem with your "Untitled" document is just that: you never saved it and you never closed it. The system can't know you don't mind losing it and since you never gave it a file, the system can't just leave it unopened when you restart Pages because it doesn't exist anywhere that would allow you to get it back if you did want it.

    No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
    Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3.  Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

  • CS3, CS4, CS5 how to disable redraw of a page

    Hi ther,
    becose of performance I need to disable redraw of InDesign page till it is created - any suggestion how to do this?
    regards

    Hi,
    yes, I know the scriptPrefs way - the problem is this is working only if it is in a script file. Application build with .NET or VB6 can use this way but it doesn't work. So the only solution for me is to make small SDK plug-in which is accesable from .NET or VB6 application and realy freeze the page redrawing till it is created - InDesign is getting slower and slower with the growing number of pageitems created in a document. The visible property of pageitem since CS5 help a little but not that much...
    Any other suggestion or tricks fpr InDesign performance with a huge amount of page items in es doc?

  • How to disable Auto Play of downloaded music?

    Whenever I download music from a file delivery service, it automatically opens in iTunes. How can I disable a music file automatically opening in any application when I download it? I've checked Settings, and preferences for Safari, iTunes, Finder, etc. But can't seem to find the place to disable auto opening of music files.

    Open the General tab of Safari's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. This applies to more than just music.

  • How to disable auto-clean-up in Photoshop?

    Hi All,
    I have an image which when opened in Photoshop appears to be cleaner (noise, bleed-through etc. removed). When I open the same image in IrfanView, I can see the noise.
    Can someone please tell me how to disable the auto-clean-up in Photoshop? I would like to see the image as it is in Photoshop, without any clean-up.
    Thanks,

  • How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

    Hi,
    our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
    So they should not become the notification.
    How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

    Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
    Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
    Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
    Install Local content (See below)
    Disables updates to AIR

    Turn off internet access/help and copy local help
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/849/cpsid_84992.html
    Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)
