[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1923277, member: 204485"] It may be that these items are merely listed in the login items preferences [I]list.[/I] In which case you can simply remove them. That is, they're not connected to anything, just listed. As stated it really is a good idea to use the developers uninstaller especially for large, complex apps like CMMX although AppCleaner usually does a good job. You may also need to remove it from Full Disk Access in Privacy and Security settings [B]if you gave it that permission.[/B] To remove the items from the login items list varies a little depending on the operating system you have but some things remain the same. At the bottom left edge of the login items list you should see a small panel with + and - buttons. Just highlight the items for removal and click the - (minus) button. You may need to enter your admin password to unlock this function first. Privacy and Security settings works in much the same way. It's educational to have a browse through these lists every now and again just to see what apps run all the time and what they have access to. [/QUOTE]
