So I thought this would be a good place just for consistent problems, but I made it mostly cause I have one.
I have a program called Sailing Clicker. When I boot up my computer, it starts as well. I don't see a menu preference to turn this option off like other programs. In general, I also was wondering if there is a "msconfig" command or such that takes me to a window to control the start up programs at my will.

: 12 th | | | hey, i just got a mac book pro a little while ago and i think i know what your talking about. first off there's no msconfig that i know of for the mac's, that's some awesome pc thing. the only thing that i think can help you is if you do the following...
system preferences > under system click "accounts" > on the left click your account to select it > then on the top click "login items"
this then gives you a list of the programs that start when the mac loads osx. deselect it if you don't want to it start, or click the plus on the bottom if you want a program that isn't there to start as well.
hope that helps, and good luck.
cheers, zmo |

| | | I was wondering if there is a program on the Mac that can check if my other programs are up to date, especially the ones that I use infrequently, but are important to me nevertheless.
I got curious because there are many Mac programs I have that don't offer full features of it's PC counterpart (i.e. Ventrilo) that I am always wondering if it is finally fully featured.
