[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1391481"] Yes. This indicates that you closed them but did not QUIT them before shutting down the Mac. As you shut down, you'll see a little checkbox that says "reopen windows" etc. that is checked (you can uncheck it, but that's not the real issue here). When checked, any applications you left running when you shut down will reopen to the last place they were left when the shutdown occurred. This can be handy for people who are working on projects but if you don't want that to happen, the "best practice" is to actually quit all apps BEFORE shutting down. And of course this is the part where I point out that there's no need to actually shut down the Mac at all unless you're going to be away from it for a prolonged time. Putting it to sleep is fine, according to Apple (and faster to get going again, according to me). :) [/QUOTE]
