Why does Word open automatically when I log in? I can't figure out how to disable Word and other windows from launching automatically. I don't want anything to open unless I select it from the dock.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
In System Preferences, click on Users and Groups.
There select your name - if not already selected - and click on Login Items.
You will see a list of items that open at Login. Select Word and anything else you do not want to open at login, and click the - sign.
Close the window.
By the way, if you do not quit Word (or any other app) when you shut down, the computer will reopen those apps the next time you start up.

Also when you shut down Make sure the checkbox to reopen windows is NOT checked.
