Window automatically opens when I log in - don't want it to.

When I log into my admin account on my 2009 iMac, almost always my home folder opens up. What setting, either in the Finder preferences or the System preferences (or for that matter anywhere elsc) can I change to NOT have the window (or for that matter, any window) automatically open on log in? There is no setting on the start up items on my admin account on the system preferences to deal with this and I don't know of anywhere else to check. It is not a big problem, just annoying. Have posted this on the Leopard forum as well.

I have three login items...
something called AdobeResourceSynchronizer which must have been installed when installed either PS Elements or Reader
and two Microsoft wireless keyboard apps: MicrosoftMouseHelper and MicrosoftKeboardHelper which are part of the support for the the wireless keyboard I have.
The strange part is that I had this identical setup on my old PowerPC G5 with both Leopard and Tiger and did not have this situation.
Again, not a big problem, just annoying..

How Popup window automatically open, when I got new approval from any user?

Hi Friends,
I have an application in Form6i, where different users send approvals to me, when somebody send me new approvals there is indication to me, I used timer, and I Execute Query in When Timer Expire trigger , so a display item is appear when I received new approval. But this is only applicable on the Approvals screen, when I navigate to another screen I have not get an indication of new Approvals.
Now I want to get an indication of an approval on every screen in my application in the form of Popup window.
A window is automatically open before me on any screen when new approval is come.
THIS IS JUST LIKE YAHOO MAIL BOX, WHEN WE WORKING IN ANY APPLICATION JUST LIKE MS WORD, EXCEL ETC. AND WHEN NEW MAIL COMES IN ACCOUT THERE IS AN INDICATION IN STATUS BAR “RECEIVES ONE NEW MESSAGE”
Please send me the solution of this problem on urgent basis.
Best regards,
Shahzad

Instantiate from your forms application a second forms application which calls your form with the timer or which contains a procedure which has registred itself for a message (use dbms_pipe).
Your starting form code will call via a host command ifrun32.exe with all required parameters and the name of the form containing the timer or listener. Now you have two forms applications running on your pc but the "mailbox"one can get minimized and maximized the moment a message is detected.

Hi, I have an issue with my Mac Book Pro 15 Inch Mid 2010. I have installed Windows 8.1 operating system during week end and only windows is opening when I log in the mac. I don't know how to switch back to apple OS. Can some one please help?

Windows 8.1 installed on my Mac and now I am not able to open Apple OS. Mac is opening straight windows with out an option to open Apple OS. My Mac is running on the latest Yosemite OS.

Please also see Boot Camp: Set the default operating system.

Everything is opening when I log in or restart.

So apple decided to include this new feature where before you log out/shutdown/restart, there is a checkbox you can mark that states "Re-open windows when logging back in", and I have that UNCHECKED but it still opens everything when I log back in, even if I quit all applications before logging or shutting down, they still decide to open up. I quit everything to save space and to not kill my computer, but it still insists on overwhelming me with application windows popping up..and this is really starting to get annoying. I have been trying multiple ways and tried multiple things to see what may be the problem, all of which below didn't work.
•Checked the box before shutting down, and then the next time I checked it again before shutting down, same result.
•Went into system settings to see what applications automatically open when I log in (which were Pages and Adobe Reader), removed them, same result/no change.
•Closed all applications properly, same result they still all opened when I logged in.
•Force quit everything...same result.
So, nothing worked above..but what I mean by everything..well all applications I had opened for the past day..listed below.
•Pages
•Adobe Reader
•Grapher
•Mail
•Notes
•Safari (Like all the pages I had opened before shutting down, even if I closed them)
•iTunes (They even remembered the song I left off: "Get Off My Cloud" Even after I correctly quit the application!)
•System Preferences (***?)
•Text Edit
•iPhoto
•Preview
So that's it! IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME, I would be mostly grateful, this has really gotten on my nerves, and I also have like no space either, so every time I log in I have to quit the applications I had already correctly quit the day before or a few hours ago, I'm just amazed on how my computer can remember the places I left off so well, even after I quit.
Thanks, Cameron †

Look at the check mark in system preferences, general on "close windows when exiting"

IChat automatically opens when anyone sends me a message

iChat automatically opens when anyone sends me a message, even after I have quit out of iChat. How do I turn this off? I can't find any settings anywhere related to this.

Hi,
This is somewhat the default.
I take it that this is an AIM name (Or one that logs in to the AIM Servers) ?
The AIM Service includes Off-Line IMs
By default it is On in iChat.
If the AIM Server is not sure it has your Settings it will ask if you want to receive Off Line Messages in an alongside IM from AIMSysMessage that pops up at the same time.
If you say No your account at AIM has that setting made.
If you do say No and want to change it later you have to Sign In on the aIM Web Site and go to Your Account Settings and change it.
Same if you are not getting Prompted or said Yes and now don't want them.

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
Nathan
set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Yes" then
tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end if

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myLoader.load(req);

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

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?

Stop messages from automatically appearing when I log onto my iMac

How do I stop my text & iMessages to stop appearing on my iMac when logging in?

sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

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

Is there a way to have the thumbnail pane automatically open when opening a pdf file?

I'm using Adobe Reader X and I would like to have the thumbnail preview automatically open when opning a pdf file. I know there is a setting to remember view layouts but this is set for the currently open document and not in general. Thanks in advance,
Regards
Robert

A particular file can have this setting, so each time you open it you see the thumbnails. The bad news is:
- this would have to be changed per file
- this requires the Acrobat product, not just the free Reader.

Illustrator CS 5.1 won't open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations on home network(mac)

Hi,
I have been asked by one of our customers the following question, please can you help!!!
The issue we have is that Adobe Illustrator CS 5.1 won’t open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations using an account with a network home area.
We have multiple OSX 10.6 workstations and our users have Open Directory accounts with network home areas on an OSX 10.6 server. All the other Adobe CS 5.5 applications (InDesign, Photoshop etc.) work fine with our network accounts, but Illustrator won’t open at all. When a user clicks the Illustrator icon to launch the program, it bobs up and down in the dock for approximately 2 minutes, then the program closes. No splash screen appears. I have tested this with several different accounts (including new ones created for this purpose) on several workstations with the same results.
When I tested this with a local standard user (not Administrator) account Illustrator launched successfully. There are no other differences between this local account and the network accounts other than where the home area is located, and where the account authenticates to.
Thanks,
Elfed.
