How Do I stop VLC from Auto Launching at Startup?
Posted: 29 Dec 2010 20:03
VLC automatically opens at login or startup. I don't want the program to exhibit this behavior. I have looked high and low and cannot find a way to stop this from happening. It seems to be happening only in 1.0.5 and above. I find no preference to turn off this "feature." I also checked the usual Mac OS X suspects like the the "Start-up Items" in the "Accounts" pane in "System Preferences." I also checked the "Startup Items" folders in the main "Library" and the System "Library." I even looked in the root and system "Launch Agents" folder (and "Launch Daemons"). How is VLC forcing itself to life at startup and how do I stop it? This happens on ALL of my machines that recently updated whether 10.5 or 10.6 and whether PPC or INTEL. I feel silly for asking what is probably a really simple fix, and I count myself very adept with computers, but this one has me stumped. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
