In your Accounts preference pane, Startup Items tab, click the - sign to remove highlighted Login Items. (Panther) Or, Accounts preference pane, Login Items tab, click the - sign to remove highlighted Login Items. (Tiger) To add items back, click the + and then navigate to the items you want to re-add. Might be helpful to take a screenshot before you disable any to ensure you remember what's there in the first place. Also, you'll get the little yellow "tool tips" if you hover over them, which will reveal the full pathname to each item. peace, Linda
