I want to adjust some applications that startup with my Mac. Some applications are loading when I log in and tend to slow down my Mac. How do I change this?

Thanks. But unfortunately its not in there. Everytime my mac loads up, the "Applications" box pops-up from my hard drive. How do I stop this? Its getting annoying!

You mean a Finder window opens automatically?

Then close it.

If all Finder windows are closed when you log out, none open when you log in again. You can not run without Finder.
