   Nice work. The Apple site has some ineffective chatter, but you nailed the solution. Thanks for helping me eliminate a small but repeated annoyance!

   After installing HP Scann for the MacBook. How do I stop the iPhoto Library from launching at the beginning when turning on the computer.

   Thank you for your help.
