Start up programs open

I am so sick of my programs opening everytime I reboot from bootcamp back to OSX. I have tried to turn off opening programs but it just opens up 10 or 12 prgrams every time HEEEELP. Sometimes the machine is still starting up after 20 minutes.
It doesnt matter if I manually close all programs prior. Every reboot is the same
I paid for all the extra ram, i7 intel and evberything else you can get to make this machine fast and it ***

Since upgrading to Lion every time I start my Mac multiple programs open (word, excel, mail, power point) any fixes?

Yeah, but when it CRASHES and you have to hold the power button, all the apps restart. I have 8GB and it's swap-city.
To make matters worse, it appears there's a bug in Lion Mail. It opens a compose window for every email I sent in the previous session. We're talking dozens and dozens of windows.
Maybe try posting your own question on this as it is unrelated to this post. Never seen it before, so if you require help, then open a new topic.

Multiple programs open at start up: iTunes, Calendar, email etc...? Why and how do I fix it? Thanks!

When I boot up my computer multiple programs open??? Just started doing it a while back. Not sure why or what changed. It's as bad as having a PC now ;-) Any help on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

Mac Book Pro 15" mid 2009 after installing new hard drive and 8 gb memory, start up disk is still full, start up from power off is very slow, and programs open immediately after start up EX. word, excel. Help?

I installed a new 1tb WD hardrive in my mid 2009 macbook pro along with upgrading from 4gb to 8 gb.
My start up disk is still almost full, booting up is extremely slow, and programs open up by themselves once booted up ex:word, excel.
New TB drive shows up alng with 8 GB but, new hard drive not updating somehere? What am I missing? See screenshots below

Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for answers to a few of the other answers before I look at completeing the steps above.
1. Whyis the new TB drive recognized in image 1 but still have the original 256GB size still recognized(and almost full) in image 1 also? The HD should now be 1 TB, not 256 correct? If this were the case, the HD, would only be fraction of full capacity, Where is the disconnect between reconizing the installed tb HD but, it not being used?
2.Image Number 2 shows once again that the new tb internal HD is recognized. However, in image 3, the HD 256GB drive is still shown underneath the new HD. Does this show that I am misssing something, some step, related to confirming the new HD should be fully reconized instaed of this old 256 that still remains?
3. In image 4, the SATA heading, shows the TB hardrive, However, in image 5, the 256GB drive is still being shown under the storage heading? Once again, seems like I've missed some simple step to make this all the same?
4.Why is the start up from boot up soooo slow now. I was never even close to this slow(slower than PC startup slow) before the new HD was installed. IS this common when updraging to a new HD? Doesn't seem right?
5. Why now all of a sudden when the computer finally boots up are certain programs automatically opening up, word, excel, when they have never opened up like this before?
Summary: 1. New memory issues, 2. Very slow start up, 3. Programs opening up automatically at startup.
Until I address these issues, I'm not going to worry about loking through and deleting heavy folders.
All responses welcomed!

How do you change what programs open on starting up?

How do you change what programs open on start up?

By changing the list of login items for your user account in System Preferences, and if Lion is automatically reopening applications, which ones are running when the computer is shut down.

First, make sure that Office applications are closed when you turn off the computer. Then, when you are going to turn off the computer in  > Shut Down, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in"

On start up many programs open which is irritating

I use Macbook pro 13" year of 2011, many programs open on start up irritating me since i have to close all of them before I can work comfortably. Any help?

Are these programs that are set to run on startup? You can alter your startup programs so that none open up automatically.

Start up programs icloud doesn't play by the rules

I intend this to be a formal complaint. I am running windows 7 64-bit on my PC, and have repeatedly removed the iCloud program from the list of assigned startup programs. Every few restarts (so every 1-2 times that I restart or turn on my computer) it appears again, running at startup, using up resources. I value the control I have over which programs open when I start my computer- by managing the programs and limiting the number which automatically run to only those which I find essential (like sound driver software, video display driver software, wireless management software, and antivirus) I am able to dramatically reduce the time it takes for my computer to be ready for use after pushing the on/off button.
iCloud, as a singular exception within this system, does not play by the rules. I suspect that it is constantly checking for updates and upon updating or simply upon auto-running to perform this check, it resets or resestablishes information in the computer's registry, bypassing my GUI established setting and re-assigning itself as a startup program. For this reason I am now uninstalling iCloud from my computer.
I do not know if this was an intentional tactic by Apple to make their brand even more ubiquitous than it already is, or simply an oversight/something ignored as unimportant by the developers. Either way, I find it manipulative or at the very least, a poor business practice. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for this information. I am going to get rid of my i Phone5c because of this policy of Apple! Maybe they need sued to stop this policy!

A new start-up program in my Win 8.1: I can't stop it!

Hi fellows. What about this article?
In the last couple of days I've been getting loads of email from WinPatrol customers asking what is this strange new start-up program?
The name is only numbers and no matter how many times I try to block or disable it, it just keeps coming back.
I noticed that on every machine the number was different. Even on my computer, the number was different every single time, almost like it was either trying to elude being blocked or was a tracking number of some kind.
Then I received an email from a customer who had discovered this mysterious program is actually "Adobe Speed Launcher". I had not agreed to install this, so I was a bit confused as to it purpose.
So, I took the plunge and let it run on one of my test machine.
After letting it run, I saw the below entry for Adobe Speed Launcher was added as a "Run Once" start-up program. Considering this is a RunOnce, my assumption was it would be installing the full-blown "Adobe Speed Laucher" on next system start-up. Now I was curoius.
I have come this far, lets reboot and see what happens.
After rebooting, I was waiting for a pop-up installing some new software, but nothing.
Nothing at all... Interesting.
While waiting I did some investigation and realized that my local copy of Adobe Reader had been upgraded the day before. Now the pieces are all falling into place.
I was allowing Adobe to automatically update itself in an effort to protect my system better because as we all know, Adobe has had quite a few vunerabilities over the years.
Giving Adobe the benefit if the doubt, I was thinking to myself that one pop-up is not that bad.
Then up came 2 more.
This time for a new number.
Frustrated at this, I opened Adobe Reader to see if there was a setting for disabling Adobe Speed Launcher.
I could not find one.
Now I was becoming annoyed with Speed Launcher, so I did some research online.
From what I have read Adobe Speed Launcher was created in order to make Adobe Reader start-up more quickly when you use it. On the surface this sounds good, but I only use Adobe Reader once a month, if that.
Why do I want it to take up system resources in pre-loading files every single time I start my computer when I will most likely not be using it anyway?
Now, if they had accomplished the restart of Speed Launcher in a better, more non-obtrusive way, I may not have even noticed it for a while. But, adding new RunOnce keys every time a computer is restarted is a somewhat questionable practice more fitting for adware than a product I want installed on my computer.
Therefore, because I could not figure out a way of easily disabling Adobe Speed Launcher, I decided to complete remove Adobe Reader XI instead.
The annoying pop-ups have stopped.
The next time I need to read a PDF, I will find a reader that is written in a more user-friendly way.
Thank you for reading, Bret

Hi,
We have rolled out a fix for this issue.
Please log off and log back in to your machine and the issue should be resolved automatically. In case that does not work, please manually run the msi installer posted here (may require reboot).

Safari won't open web page on my domain with apple e-mail program open

Mail Version 3.2
Imac 2.4 ghz 3 gig ram
Mac OS x 10.5.2 up to date
After installing Safari 3.1, I have had an issue that I thought was going to drive me mad. If I have the mail program open, I cannot access any webpage on my domain. Lets say my domain was vvv.com. If I have the mail program open I cannot access www.vvv.com, no any subdomains on there. If I close the mail program and then just refresh the page in the browser, it works just fine. I have searched thru the forums, but cannot identify a solution. If anyone has an idea for me to try, I would appreciate any feedback and helpful hints. Yes, I know that I can just close the email program, but I am in the process of starting up a business website and having to remember to open my email program every so often is something I don't need.
And by the way, the problem also affects firefox also.
Thanks in advanced..

All of Office 2010 Student and Home Edition Programs open as Microsoft Single Image instances since Installing Outlook 2013

Office 2010 Student and Home Edition has been running without problems on my PC since 2012. Recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 (The version of Office 2010 did not include Outlook), since then, every time I open any of the original Office 2010 Programs
eg XCEL, WORD, POWER POINT, ONE NOTE, the program opens in 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' which appears to have to be installed every time any of the programs are opened. The Installation process takes anything up to a few minutes to complete and sometimes
when filing or printing a document, the install restarts, on occasions, in an endless loop which requires random,imaginative keystroke action to terminate. The program shortcut icons all point to the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' application, I have
not succeeded in finding where the original programs are located as a quick way of trying to fix the problem.
The new installation of Outlook 2013 opens normally.
Evidently, the Outlook 2013 installation has disturbed the 2010 licensing or something ellse, can this unintended change be reversed?
Short of a complete Un-install + Re-Install, I have tried every straightforward repair/ change (run All on my computer)/ enter product code etc option, all to no avail.
I have read of variations on the same problem relating to mixing Office 2003/ 2007, cases of Outlook 2013 starting up in a similar way, but no examples of the specific problem outlined above. The next step
is a complete Un-install + re-install of Office 2010, is this the answer or do I need to go further? Indeed, is there a quick fix?

Hi,
The Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 is a set of tools, documentation, and product files that licensed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use to preload Office on new computers for distribution to end users.
I would suggest you to try the methods listed in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528748/en-us Just run the Fix-It tool mentioned in the page, or follow the steps to fix it by yourself.
A similar issue is discussed here, you might have a look:

When I start the program I instantly see this message: "Adobe Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache, please try purging the central cache in cache preferences to correct the situation". I have tried this and it only results in a stalled/locked program. I have tried restarting my machine multiple times and tried reconfiguring how the cache is managed. Do you have anyone who could walk me through each step to correct this problem which just started two days ago. I have owned this program for at least a year now...
