Microsoft Word automatically opens when I start my computer.

A new document opens up everytime I start my computer. The option for Word to start at login is not checked on the dock and is not in my start up items in system preferences.
Also, I downloaded Google Chrome and now the screen that allows you to install and run downloads keeps showing up with the Google Chrome icon, in addition to Word when I start my computer. 
Help!

Sorry.. this is my first Mac. It's a box that has the icon of the download on the top and the folder on the bottom. In other words, it prompts you to move the icon into the folder for the install to occur.
I exited out of Word before I shut down the computer. Again, not sure why it opens automatically.

  • How do I change settings so Blackberry desktop manager doesn't open when I start my computer??

    I want the desktop manager to open when I ask it to, or else to open automatically when I connect my phone to the computer by USB.  Currently, it opens when I start my computer.  I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Did you install the software from a CD or download it?
    If from the CD, put it back in your drive. When the wizard appears choose the Modify option. Select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager from the 3 choices listed and hit Next. Your going to reselect the same options as you did when you first installed the software, but stop and the last step where you have the 2 checkboxes. You want to uncheck the top one that talks about starting the software when the computer starts
    If you just downloaded the software go into Add/Remove Programs, select the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and hit the Change/Remove button. Then just follow the steps above.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I prevent programs opening when I start my computer?

    I just upgraded to the new OS X 10.7.1 and now when I start my computer, aobut 7 programs startup and I have to exit out of all of them.  How do I prevent programs from opening at startup.

    Try two these two things in System Prefs:
    1) In "General", uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps"
    2) In "Users & Groups", click on "Login Items", select the things you don't want to open on startup and click the "-" (minus) at the bottom of the list. That should clear any of those apps from launching at startup. If you change your mind, just click the "+" and add the app back to your list of login items you want to have ready on start up.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to stop Adobe flash Player from automatically opening when I start google browser

    Whenever I open any google browsers i.e. Chrome or google, the Adobe flash player automatically starts.  I want to know is there any settings I can unclick that will stop it from opening automatically.  I want to have the control of when to start flash player.

    Having just solved this irritating issue, two steps are required to stop Chrome running audio or video automatically, but still allow it to run on request:
    1 Go to chrome://plugins/ and uncheck the 'Always allowed' box for the offending plug-ins - Adobe Flashplayer, Quicktime etc
    2 Go to chrome://settings/content, scroll to the Plug-ins section and change the default 'Run automatically (recommended)' to 'Click to play'
    Now when you open a page with audio or video content, it'll be greyed-out with a jigsaw icon, which you can click to run.

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically opening when I start iTunes?

    A couple months ago, something very strange started happening.
    Every time I open iTunes, Safari starts up opened to this page:
    file:///Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/OmniGraffle%20H elp/index_Customizing.html
    It is an HTML page for "OmniGraffle Help," even though I have never installed OmniGraffle.
    Anyone know how this came to be and how I can prevent this from happening anymore? Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do I make a webpage automatically open when i start up mozilla firefox?

    Currently when I open firefox, certain windows automatically open (ie. gmail, usps, my work website, etc.) these windows were set to open at startup by the person that previously had my job. There are other webpages that I would like to open at startup but I can't figure out how to :) please help!

    On other platforms instead of Tools > Options use:
    *Linux: Edit > Preferences
    *Mac: Firefox > Preferences
    *Windows: Firefox > Options or Tools > Options

  • Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

    Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
    When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
    Thanks
    Bob

    Hi Guys..
    Had the same problem..
    And now its got solved!! :-D
    Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
    Do give it a try..
    Cheers!
    Bye.

  • Why does a Finder window open when I start my computer?

    It's been doing this for a while, and I find it highly annoying. If I want a Finder window, I'll open one. I believe it began with Lion. I have looked in the Finder preferences and system preferences to try to disable this, but I see no option to do it. How can I make this unwanted behavior stop?

    Be sure that you have closed any Finder window before shutting down. Any windows left open will re-open when you restart.
    Also check in your Login Items in Users & Groups Preferences.
    In which directory does the Finder window open?
    Lastly, check your system logs for an explanation. They should show why it is opening. Usually it is some other program that starts on boot and requires the Finder to open.

  • How to have library automatically open when flash starts

    Every time I open Flash to either start a new project or edit
    an existing one, I always have to first go to "window" and
    "library" to open the library and,if editing an existing project,
    see the images I have already imported.
    Is there a way to reset the preference so that upon opening
    Flash "Library" is either docked permanently on the right side, or
    is grouped with another panel?
    Thank you!

    Yes, I did that, however, when I close flash, and then
    re-open it, my saved panel set does not automatically come up. I
    have to go to "window" "panel sets" and select my saved panel set.
    Is there a place where I can make this the default?

  • Program automatically launches when I start my computer.

    So this isn't specifically a FCE question, but every time I start up my computer, FCE launches as well. It's not a big deal but a little annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it from happening? I can't find anything under system preferences. Thanks!

    go to your user account preferences and look at tabs, one will be related to apps that start upon login. You should see iTunes handler in the list - generally speaking.
    Locate the FCE app in the list and removed it. The process should be straight forward.
