In yesterday’s post, we looked at how to hide programs that automatically start up when you log onto you Mac so that they run in the background. Today, I’m going to show you how to add programs to your start up list. These are applications that you want to immediately launch when you login. For example, every morning I start Apple Mail, my blog reader (NetNewsWire) and OmniFocus. So rather than manually click on them, I have added them to my start program list. What the heck, it saves a couple of mouse clicks.
To Add Applications to the Startup List:
- Click the Apple > System Preferences
- Click Accounts
- Click on your user name in the left window
- Click the Login Items tab
- Click the plus symbol (+) on the bottom of the login items window.
- Click Applications in the left pane.
- Click the application you want to have automatically launch and then click Add.
