Stop Adium from auto-starting?

I don't have Adium installed, so I can't check for sure, but I'd imagine it adds itself to your login items.
System Preferences --> Accounts --> Login Items
System Preferences --> Accounts --> Login Items
If thats not it, if its in your dock right click and make sure 'Open at Login' isnt checked (Thats prolly linked to Login Items, so if its not one its not the other, but I'm not sure)
That's interesting...I just installed it and it didn't add itself to Login Items.
I also don't see an option to do so from within Adium...am I missing something? (I know you can manually add it through System Preferences, but some apps have a checkbox for it in their preferences.)
Wow, I have installedd Adium on at least 5 macs and never has this issue.
Did you try removing it from your startup items as suggested? That should solve the problem.

Fascinating - are you sure you're not selecting Open at Login from the Dock icon? There really isn't any mechanism within Adium which could do this intentionally, in any case... Does it show up in your Login Items?sink said:
Missing nothing... IMHO, with the addition of the "Open at Login" menu item from the dock, launching a program at startup has become trivial enough that it's wasteful to include a checkbox in the app's own preferences. Agree/disagree?
For the most part I agree, but sometimes it's nice to have it there when you're going through and setting the rest of your preferences. Users might not think about whether they want it to start at login, and if they don't ever (or rarely) control-click/right click on the Dock icon, it might not occur to them right away. On the other hand, if it's in the preferences where they go more frequently, they might see it and think, "Oh, it would be nice if this automatically opened!"
Have the same problem
Hello I have the same problem I have tried everything, from uninstalling to deleting every adium file nothing works have you been able to fix it?
I'm just waiting for it to get updated hopefully works.
