Why is software I closed the night before spontaneously opening at startup the next morning?

This spontaneously started happening when I setup my new iMac about a month ago and it is now happening on my husbands older mac laptop. Is this an operating system upgrade glitch?

iMac, iOS 5.1

I went to Preferances to see if there was something going on in the Startup menu...like I had set programs to start upon login, but nothing looks unusual there. Now I'm wondering if I'm thinking PC...and looking in the wrong place. I'm also wondering if it is a Microsoft glitch, but I'm noticing that iCal is also doing it. Tends to be iCal, Excel, Word and Safari. I have not set anything myself to request that they open upon startup.
