Thank you.

I'm confused as to why you are running a dmg every time you log in and not installing the contents and trashing the DMG.. Maybe someone could help if they know what was going on.

If you do not mind me asking, what is this DMG you want mounted every time you startup your Mac? If it's a Program, open the DMG and drag the Application to the Applications folder and unmount the DMG and trash it.

Tell us more please.

Also, configuring the OS to accommodate auto-mounting disk images would undermine one of the biggest inherent security structures of the OS.
