First I tried to delete and change in system> accounts. No changes
I've tried deleting in library > preferences:
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
com.apple.loginwindow.plist.lockfile
Some changes work for one boot up and then revert.
Is there another preference file someplace?
No library in user folder so I don't know where else to go.
I had this problem in Snow Leopard also. I thought the new system would cure it.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
No library in user folder so I don't know where else to go.
There has to be. You were on the right track...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.loginitems.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
It says I have no library.
this may be the problem. Since loading Lion a few days ago, I now have to log in to my computer with a password--- which I never had to do before since I don't share the computer.
I do have a user file with my name but no library folder.
Open your "Go" menu in Finder, hold the option key.
You will see Library.
cannot change/delete login items in Lion
