[MacTUG] Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature | MacFixIt <- How about this one Don?

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

No this is another aspect of resume, as Lion does stuff with 'resuming' at
least 
two ways(three I guess if you count auto save)

1) Lion lets you resume an app where it left off the last time it was
used, which is what this url is talking about. So if I quit Textedit and
have 3 docs open, Lion will open those 3 docs when I start up TextEdit
again. Actually I did not turn this one off as it does not bother me too
much. I think the reason it does not bother me is that I usually do not
quit apps until I am sure I am done with it. That is likely why I have a
million apps running at the end of the day and why I am bugged by the
second form of resume, hahaŠ

2) When you log out, unless you deselect the checkbox, all the apps you
have running will be restarted the next time you log in, even if they are
not in Login Items. This one does not currently have a GUI master 'turn
off' option, nor has anyone found a sneaky way to do it using the
'defaults writeŠ' option in the terminal.

Eg of articles about it

The last posting makes references at the end to locking the
~/Library/Saved Application State/ folder, but this is a case where the
user is confusing these two forms of resume -- from what I see that folder
controls the first type of 'resume' listed above. Both these links make
references to applescripts that you could create to deal with this issue.
I feel that is cheating ;-)
