Open Programs Automatically |
You can set up your Mac to automatically open programs when you log on. Here's how. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences and click on the Accounts button. Click on your account name, then click the Login Items tab. A list of all Login items appears. You can remove programs by selecting them and clicking the minus sign, or add new ones by clicking the Add (+) button and navigating to the desired application. If you check the Hide box next to the program name, the application will open automatically, but won’t be displayed onscreen until you select it in the Dock or via the Command-Tab key command (which cycles you between all open applications).

One of the great advantages of the Mac is that in addition to OS 10, it can run Windows and Linux. You can set up Spaces so that the Mac OS is in one space and Windows in another! Just boot Parallels and put it in space 2 then open the Windows program you need. Your Mac OS will be in Space 1 with the Mac program(s) you need, so you can easily switch between them. I’ll bet you could even set up a third space containing Linux! Lee |
