Mac Kindergarten

So there are a bunch of applications you use whenever you have your Mac on. Adium for Instant messaging, Safari for web browsing and so on.

Instead of opening them one by one every time you turn your Mac on, control-click their icon in the Dock and select Open at Login.

To remove the automatic start at Login again, just click the icon again. You see there is a little check mark next to Open at Login, click the menu item again to remove the check mark and thus disabling the automatic start.

If the desired application has no icon in the Dock, please read this post on how to get it there.
