Upon start-up of my iMac the app LimeWire always starts running, ...


I haven't used it for years now since I just love iTunes, ...


So. ... how do i permanently delete this annoying app that always starts running in the back ground?


(I always "band-aid" the situation by force-quitting the app, ... but I am tired of doing this, .....Please help)


Thanks...

mac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

The first thing to do is remove it from your Login Items. You can do this by navigating to System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items. Highlight the app(s) you don't want starting on login and click the - symbol below.


Once you have done this navigate to the Applications folder, locate the app and drag it to the trash or right click it and choose "Move to Trash."

If it shows up in your dock, you can right click on it, select 'Options', then select 'Open at Login' to UNcheck it.


After that, if it remains on your dock after quitting the app, click and drag the icon off the dock and let go.


To delete it from your computer, open the Applications folder and drag the icon to the trash (or you can use something like AppCleaner, which I love).
