Stopping text edit from opening at start up

[Michaelgtrusa]

Dear members, I've deleted a recently downloaded text file but for some reason text edit launches when I turn on my mac! How do I stop this?

Go to System Preference/Accounts and look in your Login Items. see if it's there.

You UN check the box, so it doesn't start up. I had similar problems with crossover, unchecked, no longer loads at startup.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

I will try this and get back. Thanks.

I uncheck it but it still launched at start up today!

The check box only show or hides it at start up.

You need to select text edit and hit delete to remove it from the list.

In the user panel/startup list (as suggested abve) click on TextEdit. Now the whole line should be highlighted with blue color. And then look a bit down, you should see the "-" sign. Just hit that and you will be fine.

How hard can it be? It seemed to easy compared to Windows..

I highlighted it and hit the negative button, removing it Thank you members.
