Product Description:

The System Preferences lacks the ability to reorder applications and items that are opened when you log in (Login Items) and this tool gives you that power.

  • Small, lightweight file and concise user interface
  • Uses a new set of functions in Leopard for reliability

What's new in this version:

  • New user interface to match Leopard
  • Saved Lists, which can be set as your Live List at any time
  • Now includes quick access to customer support
  • Added support for checking for future updates

Operating System Requirements:

LoginControl Usage TipThis function can be done easily with Apple's Property List Editor - Version: 2.0, 4/20/2009 08:21AM PST

This function can done directly using Apple's Property List Editor ( included free with developer tools ). It is easy, relatively risk free ( assuming you make a backup of the file first ). Just go to your home folder/library/preferences/ and open the file named 'com.apple.loginitems' ( possibly make a Finder - option drag - desktop copy first ). Click the triangles next to ‘SessionItems‘ and ‘CustomListItems‘ to see their subitems. Click the triangles next to ‘Item 1‘, ‘Item 2‘, etc. until you find the entry that you want to move. Item 1 gets loaded first, item 2 loaded second etc. Move the mouse pointer to the left of the Item’s triangle, then drag the entry higher or lower in the list. Drop the entry INBETWEEN two other ‘Item‘ entries and then save with Command-S.

Note: LoginControl does provide additional features such as lists of startup items which might make the product worth the shareware fee for some users.

haven't tried the product, anyway here the app is tagged as FREEWARE, whereas the developer site says "30 day free trial"... that's deceptive advertising -__-'
