    I just installed Skype on my MBP machine but there's one minor issue. It seems like Skype is set to start automatically when I don't want it to do that. I've looked in the preferences tab and there's nothing that enables or disables the auto run feature.

    therefore I'm wondering if Leopard has an auto run folder like what I'm use to in my Windows XP area? If so, where is it? I'd like to find it so my Skype program doesn't start on initial start up.

    thanks for any info. :)

    System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items

    Will show you the things set to run/open automtically whenever you login. From there you can add or remove items as you see fit.

    or go into System preferences, accounts, click on your user account, then the "login items" tab. You might find some things there that you might not want starting up either, but most of it will be application helpers or peripheral drivers.

    Edit: seems I was beaten to the punch
