Hello Everyone:

Where in the MAC OS does one find items that load automatically at Startup (maybe the wrong nomenclature)? This questions comes from a MAC convert who knows how to do the same thing on "the other OS".

Thanks all - Les :Angry-Tongue:

It depends on what is running on startup. Some programs are installed in other places, and can only be removed with an uninstaller (or manually find the files and trash them after killing their processes).

Thanks "NPuter". That was just too easy. I guess I better get used to this now that I have come over from the "dark side".
