    [SOLVED] - How to prevent Kontact from running on startup

    I know this may seem quite rudimentary, but I don't know how to do this. Somehow, I changed something in my 10.04 setup today, and now when I start it up, the Kontact application starts automatically and plops its big window in the middle of the desktop. Can someone tell me how to set programs to start (and NOT start) when the OS starts? I've played around, and couldn't find it on my own. Thanks!

    You probably need to turn off KDE's session restore feature, at least temporarily

    Kmenu -- System Settings -- Advanced -- Session Management, you can even specify programs to exclude from startup if you need to.

        This would also be the same area where i would prevent bluetooth to be excluded from startup? If so, how would i type it inside the 'exclude', perhaps by the actual filename?

          bluetooth is a service not an application you would disable that in the Srvices section, but I don't think it shows up there

          you CAN just uninstall anything bluetooth related, which is what I did

          The actual KDE bluetooth app's command name escapes me, probably kbluetooth

          there are a couple recent threads on bluetooth somewhere
