Login Items preferences

If you’re an administrator of your Mac, you can use the Login Items pane of Users & Groups System Preferences to select the apps, documents, and server connections that open automatically when you log in to your Mac.

To view these preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, select your user name on the left, then click Login Items at the top of the Window.

Open Users & Groups preferences for me

List of items				Items that open automatically at login.
Hide column				If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select the Hide checkbox. This option has no effect on server connections; server connections always appear in the Finder after login.
