[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1354217, member: 38864"] Not quite. There are two things going on here in Lion: 1: If you quit an application without closing the document first, then the next time you re-run that application, the documents opened previously will re-open with the application. You can disable this behavior completely as discussed in that thread. Otherwise, you have to get into the habit of closing the document before quitting the app. This is really best to do going forward. More on that in a moment... 2: When you log out of your user account, or restart your Mac (same diff), Lion will, by default, re-open any applications that were open when you exited. Basically it wants to return you to exactly the state you were in when you logged out. This is a similar behavior, but slightly different in that it can't be permanently disabled, short of the tip I provided. This is not necessarily a BAD thing, but understandable if some people don't like it. Apple should make it easy to disable it at one's discretion. The Lion SDK allows developers to optionally take advantage of a new feature that will let Lion automatically quit any running application that is idle and if the resources it is taking up are needed by other software. This is exactly how iOS operates, and really is a good idea. So it's best to get into the habit of closing your documents when done with them, rather than quitting the application. You can always quit afterwards on your own if you desire or need to. [/QUOTE]
