How to disable autorun at startup on Mac OS X?

I cannot find the setting that tells Skype for Mac 2.7.0.257 to run on startup. Does anyone know where it is?

This is probably correct...

1. Open System Preferences (if it’s not in your Dock, you can go to Apple > System Preferences at the top of the screen)
2. From the System Preferences screen, click the “Accounts” icon under the “System” settings.
3. For each account, there is a “Login Items” tab where you can add and remove programs to automatically launch at startup. If you cannot edit your Login Items there it is one of two things:
* You do not have proper access to edit the person’s account you are looking at.
* You have proper access, but you need to “Click the lock to make changes.” Just look at the padlock icon at the bottom-left corner of the page. If it’s locked, that’s what you need to do.

This looks promising. I'll try it when I'm on my Mac next. Thanks, David

Success!

Glad to hear it! Sounds like you don't use that Mac much, though. =P

Correct. I used to use a G4 exclusively in my office, but I have since moved my Compaq Presario in from home. The G4 was just too slow.
