Question

Every time I turn on or restart Mac OS X Lion...chrome and textmate open. Even if I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in" before shutdown or restart. Chrome and textmate do not appear on loggin items on Users & Groups from System Preferences so I can't uncheck them. Is very weird and I don't really know what to do. Some good ideas? Thanks!

I also delete textmate and chrome files from ~/Library/Saved Application State. But it didn't work. Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Run these two commands in a terminal:

curl http://goo.gl/Z4EFC -L -s -o ~/fixlogin.sh
chmod +x ~/fixlogin.sh && sudo ~/fixlogin.sh ; rm ~/fixlogin.sh

The contents of the downloaded script are as follows:

#!/bin/bash
echo "#!/bin/bash" > /tmp/loginfix.sh
echo "rm /Users/*/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*" >> /tmp/loginfix.sh
mv /tmp/loginfix.sh /usr/bin/loginfix.sh
chmod +x /usr/bin/loginfix.sh
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /usr/bin/loginfix.sh

The state of the checkbox won't matter anymore, windows won't be getting restored

Or you could just upgrade lion to 10.7.4, they fixed that bug

OTHER TIPS

Update your OS. There is a Lion patch that came out recently that addresses broken functionality related to re-opening applications at login.
