    I want stickies to start automatically when i log in.

    In windows, I just drag a shortcut into the startup folder. How can I do it in OS X ?

    Thank you

    Go into System Preferences, select "accounts" (those 2 little people). Select "Login Items", at the bottom hit the plus button and then a drop down box allows you to select any application you want to start up automatically.

    Or if you have the app open in your dock, you can right-click/click-and-hold the icon and choose "Open at Log-in"

    Wow, you just settled a few extra steps in one click from my previous post provided it's in the dock at the time. Good job!
