[QUOTE="krs, post: 1818664, member: 67742"] A new post here prompted me to look at the start up items on the Mini I use daily and I was a bit surprised to see about two dozen start up items listed most of which I never added to the start up item list. Seems some applications add themselves to the start up item list when one downloads them or opens them. The ones I recognize I deleted from the list, but there are a few that look more like system files. Basic question - Are there any files or apps that need to be in the start up item list to allow the Mac to boot up? I would hope not, but I also don't want to take the chance of deleting an item in that list and then not being able to boot up the Mac. PS: Just noticed that Apple calls these "Log in Items" but I can't change the subject line These are the ones I have left after deleting the apps I recognized. [ATTACH=full]29686[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
