Helping a lady acquaintance get her iMac intel duo upgraded to SL, and general clean-up, has 3 applications that launch on start-up. I know this subject has been posted here but I must be using the wrong words when I search cause I cannot find it here or on the Apple forums. Where is the "shut off"

??

System Preferences / Accounts (or Users I think in 10.4?) / Login Items (might even say start up) / select what you want to stop and hit the "-" button (you might have to unlock first).

In the System Prefs->Accounts - click on the Login Items.

Don't forget that little search box on the "Main" (Show All) pref panel. Just start typing something in there that you even think is in a preference, and it will start highlighting where it could be. I think it's one of the neatest search indicators I've ever seen.

And, be sure to show the lady. It could help her and save her having to call you...especially if your wife is home!

But don't worry about us telling your wife, your secrets safe with us and all our friends...

Well Ill be dog gonned.

If you were someplace close I would buy you a cuppa, or a whatever. As many times as I have seen that "show all" I never had a clue.

I guess I figured it was to show all of the icons in the Sys Pref panel.

or something. You can bet I will show her.

AND I DO appreciate ya'lls discretion on the other matter.
