W'w'w'w'w'w'w'wate! a minute! Mine actually stays unchecked. I wonder if
maybe that dialog is fooling me! Maybe it is! openning things without me
knowing! Sarah, you might a just hit the nail on the head! Let me look at
these instructions and try it, then we'll see if it helps.

Subject: Re: Slow bootup?
Yah it does not stay checked. There is a file you need to edit . I have
instructions in this email.
You might need to modify paths and it does refer to lion but this still is
a issue in mavericks.
instructions follow.
10.7: Completely disable Resume
This hint describes a way to completely, once and for all, disable all
Resume features (that is, 'Reopen windows when logging back in' and Saved
Application States) once and for all.
Disable Saved Application States
OS X Lion offers a checkbox to disable saved application states. However,
many applications do not seem to care about that checkbox (e.g. Terminal).
The easiest way to prevent applications from writing away saved states is
exactly that: don't let them write to the saved application states folder.
To do this, first open up Terminal. Issue the following command to remove
any saved application states you might have:
rm -r '~/Library/Saved Application State/*'
Now, prevent anything from writing it's state away ever again:
chmod -R a-w '~/Library/Saved Application State'
You may use the chmod command on individual application's folders inside the
Saved Application State folder to prevent a single application from writing
its state away.
Likewise, to re-enable saving states, use the same command but make the
change 'a+w' instead of 'a-w':
chmod -R a+w '~/Library/Saved Application State'
Disable 'Reopen windows when logging back in'
To permanently disable 'Reopen windows when logging back in,' you can use
the following command:
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool false
This will effectively disable 'Reopen windows when logging back in,' though
the checkbox will still be ticked. However, this switch resets itself every
time on reboot. To prevent this from happening, again we remove write
permissions on the file containing the option:
chmod a-w ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
This should do it. But there's where OS X gets nasty. When it can't write to
this file, it will try to put the write permissions back itself. The
solution is to change the owner to root, effectively preventing anyone (but
root) from changing permissions on the file:
sudo chown root ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
To reverse this, simply issue the following commands:
sudo chown $USER ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
chmod a+w ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool true
[crarko adds: Definitely do this at your own risk. About the only thing most
of us might ever care to do would be preventing some individual application
from saving its state, as is mentioned near the end of part 1 one of the
hint. If you try this I'd suggest testing it with a dummy account first.
Note that all the permission changes are only made to files in the user
account Library.]

Did you try closing all windows then before restarting or shutting down

Hi,
I am using an iMac 27 inch and do not have this problem. Really the only
miner problem I have is that the check box for reopening windows at
startup does not stay unchecked. Other than that my mac boots up just
fine.

take it that way, but with all due respect, I really wish people who

the reply button after maybe reading 2 or 3 sentences, as I've been

Anyway, it's all good, don't worry about it. No hard feelings.

Have you tried a full reinstall of mavericks/ I did and although
slow, I do see a slight speed increase.
Take care.

Hi all
my Macbook Pro 2012 model running Os X 10.9.2 is slow booting
up. Once booted all is well. I'm thinking of doing a clean
install as never done one since owning this mac nearly two years
ago. So should I go ahead and do this? My processor is Core I5
and memory is 4 GB. Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks!
