Why do all may programs open at startup?

My boss just bought a new Mac Book Pro with Retina display to replace a Dell. For the last couple of weeks all of her programs have opened at start up and she has to manually shut them down. Any ideas on how to stop this?

One possibility is to uncheck this box when shutting down or restarting:

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
    You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:

  • Why do all my images open as grayscale?

    No matter what I change my settings to, all images I open in photoshop come in as grayscale.  Any suggestions?

    I'd like to tack on my question as well since it sounds similar.
    I'm using PhotoShop CS4 and I've opened a black and white jpg.  It's solid black with a white background and 300ppi.  It's a ridiculously simple image.  All I'm trying to do is change the black to a color.  I wanted to just grab the bucket tool and dump on some color.  However, when I selected the color as my foreground color, I noticed I'm no longer in RGB (seems only Adobe gods know why).  It's showing a grayscale horizontal bar in my colors tab on the top right.  I also see a rainbow colored horizontal bar.  Color picker worked fine but as soon as I chose my color it went back to gray as my foreground color.
    How do I get back to RGB?  I've fiddled around with this for 2 1/2 hours looking for solutions online and in the help sections on the program.  I'm now more educated on what colors are and how they're used and their deep geneauology but unfortunately, none of that has been able to tell me how to flip back to RGB. 
    Also, when I tried opening a new blank image the color selection was fine.  Do you think it's something funky with the image locking in a grayscale?  I also tried reopening PhotoShop. 
    HOLD ON!!  I FIXED IT!!
    Well, I hope this helps Crystal (above).
    I hit the "Image" tab, "Mode" and saw that "grayscale" was checked.  I have no idea how that happened but I selected "RGB" and I have color.  I'm sure you were all holding your breath, right?

  • Why do ALL browser windows open when I open a new browser window

    I don't know if this is a feature, but I find it ANNOYING. Say I have 2 browser windows minimized. I decide to open another window. Why do ALL minimized browser windows and how can I stop it.

    Found solution. Had to disable Ask.com toolbar.
    <<< The Solution
    The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • 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,

    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.

    When I start my computer, all my dock items load automatically even though I have not selected them to open at startup in the user accounts settings. This means I have to close 8 windows every time i startup my computer before I can see my desktop. How do I stop this?
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

  • Why doesn't my program open? Error message states "not enough RAM" but I have 5 GB avail

    I have Elements 2.0. Have been using it on 3 computers. Suddenly this laptop won't even open the program. Error message states "not enough RAM" but I have 5 GB available. How can I fix this. No problem on other computers with same Windows 7, Elements 2.0. This laptop is an HP. Others are Toshiba & Dell.

    Even if you have 5GB of RAM, PSE can't make use of all of it because it is likely to be a 32 bit program (if not 16 bit).  PSE2 is very old made for Windows 2000 or Windows 98 but this was all before my time so my facts must be wrong here.
    I am amazed that you managed to install it on Windows 7 in the first place.
