Opening Items Automatically After a User Logs In
You can open frequently used items for a user. You can also hide items that open
automatically to help prevent screen clutter, while still making the item easily
accessible.
Items open in the order they appear in Login Items preferences (you can specify the
order). As items open, they “stack” on top of one another; the last item is closest to the
top. For example, if you specify three items to open (and none is hidden), the user sees
the menu bar for the last item opened. If an application has open windows, they may
overlap windows from other applications.
A user can stop login items from opening by holding down the Shift key during login
until the Finder appears on the desktop; you can turn off this feature.
To make an item open automatically:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it.
To switch directories, click the small globe above the accounts list. If you are not
authenticated, click the lock.
3 Select one or more users, groups, or computer lists.
4 Click Login.
5 Click Login Items and select a management setting (Once or Always).
6 To add an item to the list, click Add.
7 Select the Hide checkbox for any item you don’t want the user to see right away.
The application remains open, but its windows and menu bar remain hidden until the
user activates the application (for example, by clicking its icon in the Dock).
8 Deselect “User may add and remove additional items” if you don’t want users to have
this privilege. (This checkbox is available only if Login Items preferences are always
managed.)
Users cannot remove items added to this list by an administrator, but users can remove
items they’ve added themselves.
9 To prevent users from stopping applications that open automatically at login, deselect
“User may press Shift to keep items from opening.” (This checkbox is available only if
Login Items preferences are always managed.)
10 Click Apply Now.
