Also as a heavy user of Spaces, I find leaving anything open to be pretty much useless, since all the windows upon logging back in open in the same space. I don’t apportion spaces by app, but by project which means app windows are scattered among several spaces. I finally gave up and just a) quit shutting down or logging off and b) unchecking the box to open things when I log in again so I can start with a clean slate. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
