Tip: Skipping the dialog box "reopen windows when logging back in"

First just perform a normal restart then you have to uncheck the box that says "reopen windows when logging back in"


on your next restart perform


control + command + eject when in finder. This is will force the computer to eject


If you want to do a shutdown


control + option + command + eject


this will skip the dialog box.

thx for the suggestion but,

you didnt grab the point bro,

why i'm annoying is if i dont want it restore my window,

I need to manully click the apple and choose "shut down" and uncheck the dialog box


I use to shut down my mac by short keys BUT it only skip the dialog box ,

it STILL restore all your windows and apps when next time you turn on your mac


the problem is i CANNOT use the keyboard shortcut as the DEFAULT is setting to "retore all windows"

skipping the dialog box dont really help anything on my issue .... : (
