Q: startup question

• Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
• At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”'

also, in system preferences>users and groups, make sure anything under the Login items tab is checked.
