- If you go to System Preferences --> Users & Groups, click on your account name in the left-hand side, then select "Login Items", you will see a list of everything that is scheduled to open whenever you start up your computer. If you see Photos there, select it, then press the minus button at the bottom to remove it.
- Read the following to better understand how to use Photos --> Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support // http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-import-export-and-share-photos-with-photos-for -mac/
- See #3.
- No, you cannot. The components of OS X are tied to the operating system and cannot be deleted. These include Safari, iTunes, and Mail.
- No it's not.

Mar 17, 2016 1:07 PM in response to Steve Zavodnyby léonie,You cant stop it form launching.
Does Photos launch when you connect a camera or insert a card?
Right now you can only try to disable the autolaunch of photo application altogether. But it does not always work and any update might break it.
This Terminal command will disable the auto start of any photo application, not just Photos. So Lightroom will not launch either and you will have to launch the application of your choice manually.
- Quit Photos and disconnect any camera.
- Open a Terminal and paste this command into it and hit return:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool YES
- Restart the Mac . it should not be necessary, but it only worked for me after restarting.
I found this fix in a post by JadedEye (to léonie)

Mar 17, 2016 1:54 PM in response to léonieby Steve Zavodny,thanks i'm afraid to use terminal cuz even the spaces seem to matter and what do I put in here:
defaults -currentHost write c
do I leave "default" and what if there is a space after the name of the host, etc.
thanks
