How do i disable automatic start up of programs on OSx?

Hi - can anyone please tell me how to disable all the files and programs I was working on when I shut down from automatically re-opening when I restart my computer? It's annoying and very time consuming. Thanks!

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

When you shut down your computer a dialog will appear asking if you want to re-open applications at startup. Uncheck that option.
