    Configure Mac OS X startup

    In the Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More -> Software -> Startup Items.
    I currently have 3 applications that launch at startup.

    1. MySQLCOM
    2. ParrallelsDesktopTransporter
    3. REALSQLServer


    In the description of each there are:

    Description:
    Location: /Library/StartupItems/ ...
    Offer:
    Enabled: Yes
    Uses:
    Preferred Order: ...
    How to change the Enabled value of 'Yes' to 'No' :?:
    Thank you in advance

    To disable permanently, it is best to create a directory "StartupItems (Disabled)" folder in the Library visible in the root disk (which is the same as /Library/mentioned in your message, machine translation requires Mac OS X ).

    Open a Finder window and go to the Library folder of the disk drive (not that your account or the System). You will created a new folder named "StartupItems (Disabled)". Then you move the files you find in /Library/StartupItems/ and that which you want to disable them from running at startup, this new folder.

    In the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo mkdir /Library/StartupItems\ (Disabled)/
    (password required)
    Then, according to disable the module (eg ParrallelsDesktopTransporter):

    Code:
    sudo mv /Library/StartupItems/ParrallelsDesktopTransporter /Library/StartupItems\ (Disabled)/.
    System should be restarted.

    1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
    2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
    4. Click the name of the user.
    5. Mac OS X 10.3.x: Click the Startup Items button.
    Mac OS X 10.4 or later: Click the Login Items button.
    6. Click the "Add {+}" button.

    The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
