SnapZ Pro does put itself into the Login Items list so that it is always available. It would slow boot-up to the extent that it takes it to load and you should see the start-up logo screen everytime you boot up. You can choose to remove it from the Login Items list and start it like any other application if you don't use it frequently. -- Karla-Tonella at uiowa.edu Obermann Center for Advanced Studies http://www.uiowa.edu/obermann/
