Open Sezame
Say that you work in an application like Microsoft Word every day, all day. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the application open every time you start or log in to your Mac?
No problemo. Find the application alias in your dock, then either Control-click (or right-click if you happen to have a two-button mouse like I do) and choose Open at Login from the contextual menu.
Of course, you may not to use the application right away. I like to check email and check out a few key websites first. You can hide the auto-launched application until you’re ready to use it. Here’s how. Open System Preferences. In the System Preferences pane, click the Accounts icon. In the Accounts pane, click the Login Items tab. Click the Hide checkbox next to the desired applications name. Close the dialog box and you’re all set.
