and choose Users and Groups.
Unlock the pane if necessary and then click on your account.
Choose Login Items from the right hand pane.
Find all those apps that launch at startup, select them one at a time and click the - button.
That will stop them launching
See if that makes a difference to your startup times

My macbook is progerssively taking longer to boot-up. I suspect this is happening because of programs being launched every time I turn it on. The programs are... default mail - iTunes - Trend Micro Smart Surfing for Mac - blank stickies and X11.
How did this develop? How can I stop these programs from being launched at start-up?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. What is the X11 program about? It reads something like 3.2$ every time I boot-up my Mac. ?????
