Works like a charm, no more having to close numerous excel docs to get to the one I was opening!

I was expecting the same thing. This only prevents saved states from being restored, it doesn’t block the program at startup. What I’m looking for is an application that prevents programs from launching after a shut down.

Word for instance is terrible because it will always open on the “new document” page, which is completely pointless. No, I don’t write a new document each time I start my computer !

I installed RestoreMeNot. It did no do what I (wrongly) expected it to do.

I was looking for an option to set selected programmes not to launch at when booting after a shut down.

I wrote an AppleScript to run before shutdown to quit all programmes, which I do not regularly use. I have not been able to run properly (so far).

It will be better if by default none app will have restore, and RestoreMeNot was RestoreMe…

I’ll go ahead and ask the obvious question: Why doesn’t Apple include such a preference pane themselves? That would be nice, wouldn’t it?

Great program, added iWork and Microsoft Office 2011 to not restore because it is really annoying for those programs.
