Hi there Im new to macs and have this question

Many Thanks

Go to Apps -> System Preferences, then click Accounts, select your account, click Login Items, the little plus icon, then add the app 🙂
 
System Preferences -> Accounts ->Login Items.

Press the + button and add the app you want.
 
Goto System preferences
then Accounts
choose your account
the Login items
click the + icon
then choose your application that you wish to open automatically.
 
alternatively, if your app is in your dock, just right click on the dock icon and select the "open at login" option 🙂
 
hahaa, i won! 😛
anyway, the question has been answered. What kind of mac did you get, tidyboy?

edit: hahaa, its a macbook; i just read the title. What specs did you get, then?

Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per processor):2 MB

The best part about having a bunch of startup items is watching them all bounce at the same time when you turn your computer on!
