Disable “Reopen Windows When Logging Back In” in Mac OS X Lion Completely. You may have noticed that when you log out or reboot Mac OS X Lion, you get a dialog window with a checkbox next to “Reopen windows when logging back in” that restores all of your currently open applications and windows. If you don’t like it and you’re tired of unchecking the box to no longer reopen the windows, you can use a third party script to render the feature useless. To clarify, what this does is disable the feature completely on a constant basis, regardless of whether that checkbox to preserve windows is checked or not, the windows will not restore. While this is part of OS X ‘s Resume feature, this is different than disabling app Resume completely or on a per application basis, because this only effects reboots and logouts.

Remember, this script disables the feature, but the dialog window will still pop up. Paste the following into a single line within the Terminal: curl -L -s -o ~/fixlogin.sh && chmod +x ~/fixlogin.sh && sudo ~/fixlogin.sh ; rm ~/fixlogin.sh.

I'd be thinking about getting one of these for ages as my 1.5 TB Hard Disk Drive had become extremely slow and no amount of defrags and optimisation could improve it that much. I'd tried an alternative 1TB drive but still had very slow times between turning on, logging in and eventually loading my desktop so I could work. I was aware that SSD's can greatly improve performance but was concerned that they are know to have a shorter life than HDD's and that they won't slowly degrade like an HDD but just stop working (rather than gradually giving bad sectors as Hard Disks tend to).

It's worth noting that these drives are 2.5" laptop sized. Installation was easy. The biggest bottleneck to performance on my system was the HDD, and it will be for a lot of people.

When an Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with Ctrl+K), the Emacs shortcut will take precedence if focus is inside a text box (which would include the address bar and search bar).

Is there anyway to uninstall rosetta? - Page 2. I'm a system engieneer and mostly support small business networks (under 100 seats) and I get very frequent request to remove/delete/uninstall something small and inconsequential they saw on their drive.

I think it's some sort of OCD. They are just really bothered by having unused data on their drive. (Thankfully I keep the System32 contents hidden for Windows users Having said that, this thread does bring up an interesting question, if the Rosetta components are smaller than most Keynote documents, and do not affect the OS in any way unless needed, then why does Apple require the extra "are you sure" dialog to install it, and why not just leave it as part of Snow Leopard if it is in fact, occasionally useful and never harmful?
