Home folder keeps opening at login???

I've been experiencing a bit of an annoyance these past couples days. Whenever I turn my computer on or log out and log back in the home folder (the one with the little house symbol) opens up after the system loads.

It's kind of annoying and I can't figure out what's causing it..

 

hm.. my university macs do this all the time.. try right-clicking on the icon and see if "open at login" is enabled

 

Perhaps Finder is in your Login Items? (System Prefs>Accounts). I'm not sure about this btw.

 

Open system preferences and go to accounts.

Then click on login items to see what starts when you login and uncheck what you dont want.

 

These are my login items.. nothing seems out of place



Apparently it's not the "home folder" necessarily. I went to the "finder" > "preferences" and changed the option so that it opens to the macintosh hard drive instead of home folder and the problems persisted. So basically, it's the finder that is opening up on startup..

 

If you mean that a Finder window always opens on startup are you sure it's not just the Finder remembering it's last position. Like if you shut down your Mac without any Finder windows open will they still pop up. I'm pretty sure that if you shut down with a bunch of Finder windows open they will reappear on startup for convenience, but if you have nothing open they won't come back.

 

I think your right ^^^

 

Nope.. I closed all the finder windows before shutting down. I even tried force quitting/restarting the finder..

 

Try doing repair permissions and then restart to see if the prob persists

 

Tried it.. nothing works.. blah
Well, I guess it's not that big of a deal.. just kind of annoying.

I tried this onyx thing to clear up some stuff but I think it caused some other glitches so I might just back everything up and format the drive. Computer's been acting a little strange lately anyway.

 

There was a discussion here on the apple support boards. Maybe it might help.

Also, try booting up the computer, opening activity monitor, then click finder and relaunch it. (either that or kill finderin terminal at login) and then restart the computer. Might work.
