Where do I find my startup options?

[MiniD3]

I've had a look through preferences and cannot find it?

Here's what is happening,
When I first switch the iMac on, it now automatically opens Aperture?
I don't mind this actually because this is where I'm at most of the time,
Except talking to you guys!
Would like to know how this has happened and how to control it

I'm not on Mavericks, so I don't know if any of this information has changed, but it may still be useful:

You can check the following locations for apps that automatically launch on startup and delete any you don't need/want:

• System Preferences > Users & Groups > yourusername > Login Items (SL and older: System Preferences > Accounts > yourusername > Login Items)
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > /Library/LaunchAgents
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/LaunchAgents
• In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder > /Library/StartupItems

Thank you,

Will have another look

you checked the Users & Groups preference? Startup Items? simplest place to look...

Also, if you right-click the app icon in the dock (if it's there), there's an option to open at login.

And the winner is?

Well done!
Much appreciated, I didn't even think of that
How did this happen?
I have just got a new Wacom Intuos Pro medium,
It would be my learning awkwardness with the pen must have made the change accidentally

Not sure, happened to me with Chrome after I installed the Hangouts plugin. Took me forever and a post here to figure it out.
