Hi, In addition to the System Preferences option, one of two things is likely happening here:
1. Press VO-d to get to your Dock, press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual menu, down to Options then over to check status. One of the options there is "Open at Login". If VO says that it is checked then simply press return on it and it will toggle off. If it is not checked, then press Escape. 2. The MacOS operates different than what many are used to in the Windows world. When you close the last window in an app in Windows, it usually closes/quits the application as well. In the MacOS, this is not the case. Closing windows simply does what it says, closes open windows. You must Quit the app to remove it from memory. So, when you press cmd-w to close a window in TextEdit, the window closes but the app remains open and if you navigate to another app TextEdit is out of your mind but still active within the Mac's mind. As well, when you go to Shutdown or Restart your computer, normally a dialog will appear. One of the items in that dialog is a checkbox that asks you if you want to re-open windows when you log back in. If that is checked and you've left applications or windows open, they will open again upon startup. HTH. Later...
