My iMac came with OSX 10.7.4 "Lion" and I find some things in this system annoying. Is there a way to get rid of the default "open windows again on restart" which is always checked, in the shutdown dialogue?

Same thing with applications. For instance today I happened to enter a bogus website which gave me a dialog box saying "You should consider cleaning your Mac of garbage" and the name of some software they wanted me to download. Modal dialog box, only one button marked "OK". I decided that I was definitely not going to click that button. Since there was no way to get rid of the box, I force quit Safari. But on the next start, Safari automatically loaded the same window with the same site and there was the suspicious box & button again. A second force quit & restart while frantically hitting Cmd-W saved me. Is there a way to tell the machine not to reload windows that were open when the application was shut down?

Third: this system seems to save changes automatically. Cmd-S should only be used to save a version. If I close the window in e.g. Pages, it will automatically save the current state of the file. Only sometimes this has not worked. The last few sentences are missing. Why?

1) That should have been fixed in 10.7.4.

2) System Preferences -> General -> Restore Windows when quitting and re-opening apps

3) Can't help you on 3.

I doubt that a website can throw up a dialog box. More likely it was a window made to look like a dialog box. Click the red button to close it.

No, websites can throw up dialog boxes, but they can't do too much with them. That one you got is an info box, so if you just click OK, it goes away without installing anything.

Aw! I'm ashamed that it was that easy and I didn't find it. Thanks ibook Steve.
