Whenever I Start my Mac up, Mail, Microsoft word and Powerpoint open up.How do I stop this?

Whenever I turn my MacBook Air on, Mail opens, then Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. It's really annoying. I have checked in 'system preferences, log in items' although there is nothing listed there, but it happens everytime?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

It's the Resume feature of Lion:


Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.


If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
