Text edit file DS Store

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and remove that file as well as TextEdit from the list of login items for your account. The DS_Store files are not intended to be edited or viewed directly by end users.

Two things
first, check that textedit is not listed in your Login Items list in the Accounts folder.
Then, find the file,
com.apple.TextEdit.plist
which is in your "User"/Preferences folder where "User" is your short login name. (Use Finder to locate it). This file is probably corrupt.
Take this .plist file and drag it into the trash. Do not flush!
Now restart and see if your problem goes away.
If everything is OK you can now delete the trash at your leisure.
If you still have the problem, post back.

Restart the computer. When it starts, do not close the Text Edit window. In the dock, click and hold on the Text Edit icon. When a menu appears, on it you should see an option that says "Open at Login". If it has a check mark to the left, click on it. If it does not have a check, ignore it.

I have had this problem since upgrading to Leopard 2 weeks ago. I removed the .ds_store file from login items and the problem was solved. I also found a program called "CNQL Button Manager" that I also removed from login items. Thanks Niel.

If there are any AppleScripts, Automator actions, or other items which may be causing TextEdit to open, remove them from the list of login items.
