Re: Auto run an app when boot up

The most logical reason, is that at some point, the file manager was running when you did a shut down of the system.

You should just have to 'close' the application before you do a shut down to prevent it from running on boot up.

Yes I simply push the power button to shutdown, and let the system to close running apps that's how I do with previous version, you reminded me that I did chose to save session when shutdown, but I cancel save later so the system still remember what I saved last which is the file manage, so now I will manually close everything and save session to shutdown, then reboot and not to save session to shutdown again, then nothing will start (except system services) in next reboot, right ?

Yeah, that's not the best way to shut down. Even though it does do a clean shutdown, you should still go to K Menu > Log out... > Turn off. Otherwise, it skips KDE's shutdown procedure and just shuts the system down. KDE doesn't really get a chance to clean up properly.

I switched to Gnome, close all running apps which I started, go to session and save current session, reboot and nothing auto run again.
