Wish Lion did not open all the programs that were running when I shut down.

No way to stop lion from re-opening programs and files where I left off. Hate that. Anyone know how to stop it?

If you want to permanently avoid having to uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in" checkbox at each shutdown, you may consider doing this:
1. Close all apps you don't want to open at startup.
2. Open your user Library folder. It is normally invisible, so press the Option key while selecting the "Go" menu in the Finder then select "Library" to open it.
3. Use the Get Info dialog "Locked" checkbox to lock this plist file:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*.plist
where "~" is your home folder and "*" is a sequence of characters (12 in my case). No need to lock the corresponding lockfile.
This plist is where the System stores "reopen windows" info, so the System can't change/delete it if it is locked. This won't change the "Reopen windows..." checkbox setting, but that setting will no longer have any effect.
