iCal Calendar image

[shot84]

When I start the computer the iCal calendar appears for no reason and I cannot remove it using the red dot in the upper left corner unless I first activate iCal. iCal is not in my System Login items. What can I do to not display the calendar?

Hi and welcome,

Possibly try this, go to the Apple top left and choose (Shut Down) a box will appear as my screen shot. Make sure that the box I have arrowed is unchecked, now click shut down.
Restart and tell us what happens.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm not offered the "Reopen windows when logging back in" option. I'm using OSX10.6.8. Maybe that's the reason.

I did as you suggest. I unchecked "open at login" and then shut down. After I restarted "open at login" was checked! I'll see what happens in the next few start-ups, but I'm not optimistic. I think there's a bug but thanks for your attempts to help.
