Hi I just installed openoffice for the first time & love it. One
problem I
have is it opens the writer app everytime I boot & I can't find where to
change that. I do want the quicklaunch to run but not to open one of
the
apps until i tell it to.
How do I do this?
If you are using windows, open OOo (OpenOffice.org) from the
quickstarter just
to the left of your computer clock. Right click it and choose the app you
want to use. Doing this will allow you to even open a specific OOo file
as
your starting point. You can also select a particular Template to open as
well. Check out the possibilities that are available with the
Quickstarter
icon.

So what was the answer to his question? As far as I understand it, Writer
opens everytime he starts up his computer, wether he wants it or not. How
does he prevent this to happen?
If I understand the whole thing right, the following is happening when he
starts up his computer:
1. The computer is powered on.
2. Some things happens, not important in this issue.
3. Operating system (Windows?) loads.
4. A lot of stuff loads, not important for this issue.
5. OOo Quickstarter loads automatically.
6. OOo Writer loads automatically.
And finally, if I understand the question right, he only wants the first 5
steps to happen when he starts his computer. Writer should not load
automatically, it should only load when he tells it to load, like when
opening a Writer document or clicking the Writer icon in the quickstarter
menu.
I am sorry to say that I can't answer the question, but if it happened to
me and the operating system is Windows, I would first of all check the
Autostart folder (Start => Programs => Autostart) and then the Autostart
tab at Start => Programs => Accessories => System tools => System
configuration, or something like that; I use Windows 98 in Swedish så I
just translated the best I could, hope this helps but it feels like it
doesn't... Maybe someone else has the answer.
