I am on a Macbook running OS X 10.5.8. Whenever I boot up there are several programs that start automatically such as Skype, Itunes, ect. I changed the settings by deleting these programs in 'system preferences/accounts/login items' and everything seems ok but when I restart my macbook all the programs still auto start and my 'login items' don't show the changes I just made. I am the only User on this computer and I use the lock/unlock button with password as prompted to make these changes. I have also run both 'disk verify/repair and disk permissions verify/repair' with disk utility but with no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
