There is also a check box in System Preferences -> General to tell OS X not to reopen all windows when relaunching apps.


And there's a check box in System Preferences -> Users & Groups ("Accounts" on older systems) -> Login Items which determines whether or not BOINCManager is hidden when it opens on log-in. It's worth making sure this is still ticked.

NG


So far my "Login Items" checkbox for boincmanager ("These items will be automatically opened when you log in") has been checked. If I uncheck it will boinc fail to be active automatically, or just not open a window? I'll try.

Thanks!

No, I close the window whenever I see it. I don't quit the boinc manager, but I red button out the window.

This may seem trivial, but every morning when I log on to my macbook air the first thing I see is the BOINC manager GUI appears on my screen, which I have to close or else have it cluttering my desktop for the rest of the day.

I like to contribute my computer to BOINC projects, but I'd rather the BOINC was invisible to me. Just works when system is otherwise idle, and stops when I log on. Again, just kind of an unnecessary annoyance. And why should doing something good cause annoyance? I never read the notifications or look over the other tabs first thing in the morning. SO it serves no useful purpose and I find it annoying.

I'm often blind when it comes to finding key settings buried in sub-menus. If there is an option to keep the app minimized and not maximize on my screen each morning, please tell me where it is. Thanks!
