Minimised programs open automatically

When I wake my Macbook up all the programs I had previously minimised also open. Is there a setting where they can remain minimised until I want to use them again?

MacBook Pro 13″

Don't minimize...it is of little value.


Commnad H will hide open programs, Command Tab will present the HUD (heads up display)—for selection use your mouse or tab your way foward, tilde to go backwards if you continue to hold the tab key down.
