[Fix / Tweak] Stop lion restoring windows & apps on reboot

Post by max1zzz »

If your like me and don't like OSX restoring the windows & apps your where running before you rebooted (i personally let osx quit my apps on reboot) the restore feature doubles, or even triples my boot time and leaves me with about a Minuit or two of instability after boot, although there is a checkbook to stop this happening i don't want to have to tick this on every reboot, equally i don't want it to open a app that just crashed my comp on reboot

Here is a simple fix i made:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kywyv997lrlo37d

Those 2 tiny bits of applescript will make it boot as a "blank canvas"
and if you can't figure out how to install that you shouldn't have a computer :P

Note: the cheackbox will still be checked but it won't open anything on reboot

EDIT: Found a bug in the apple script, well.... i put the wrong command in it, no harm will have been done to your system, just the fix may not have worked. fixed now if you have the old version download the new one and run the first script again

Thank you for this. While there are plenty of occasions where restoring the windows you had opened before is useful, it's nice to be able to turn it off permanently.

Lion does this? Dang that would annoy me. Does Lion have no system setting for this?
