Mac Startup

[chuck454]

I can't figure out what is going on with 7.1. After the installation on my Mac running OS 10.6.3 sketchup automatically starts up on bootup. I removed it from startup but whenever it is run it must add itself to startup. Anybody see this before?

I don't run OSX 10.6, but on the antiquated 10.4.11, i would do the following... Is this what you have done ? 1. Open System Preferences (if it’s not in your Dock, you can go to Apple > System Preferences at the top of the screen)
2. From the System Preferences screen, click the “Accounts” icon under the “System” settings.
3. For each account, there is a “Login Items” tab where you can add and remove programs to automatically launch at startup. If you cannot edit your Login Items there it is one of two things:
* You do not have proper access to edit the person’s account you are looking at.
* You have proper access, but you need to “Click the lock to make changes.” Just look at the padlock icon at the bottom-left corner of the page. If it’s locked, that’s what you need to do.

Yep, that's what I do. And then it comes back like a bad penny!
