Use the setting in the log out or restart dialog
When you log out of your Mac or restart it, deselect ”Reopen windows when logging back in” when prompted.
Or start up in safe mode, then restart normally. This doesn't change the setting, but your Mac forgets any windows that were open the last time you logged out or restarted.
If you deselect this setting and an app continues to open automatically:
- Apr 15, 2016 In order to pin an app window to multiple desktops you must have more than one virtual desktop. Go to the task view via the task view button next to Cortana or just hit Windows + Tab. You will see all open windows as well as the virtual desktops you’ve added.
- In the Safari app on your Mac, Control-click a pin, then choose Close Tab. Pinned sites stay in place, even when you open a new Safari window or quit and reopen Safari. When you click a link to another website from a pinned site, the other website opens in a new tab. Your pinned site always shows the website you pinned.
- Pin video allows you to disable active speaker view and only view a specific speaker. It will also only record the pinned video if you are recording locally (to your computer). Pinning another participant's video will only affect your local view and local recordings, not the view of other participants and will not affect cloud recordings.
- The app might be a login item. You can add or remove login items in Users & Groups preferences.
- The app might have installed its own startup software. Often this is controlled by a setting within the app. Check the app's preferences or documentation, or contact the app's developer.
Mar 29, 2018 Drag the window to the left or right side of the screen. Release the button, snapping the window into Split View. Click on another window to bring it into Split View. You can also bring an app into Split View using Mission Control. Simply launch Mission Control and drag a window onto the full-screen app Space.
Use the setting in General preferences
To prevent apps from remembering the windows they had open, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click General, then select ”Close windows when quitting an app.”

Or press and hold the Shift key while opening an app. This doesn't change the setting, but the app forgets any windows that were open the last time you quit the app.
If these steps don't work for an app, the app might have its own setting for reopening windows. Check the app's preferences or documentation, or contact the app's developer.
How-To Geek Forums / Windows Vista
Sometimes when I write a mail or a word document I want to refer to one of my reference files or a program window. I pull that up but when I go back to writing, the reference file or program window disappears in the taskbar. Then I have to pull it up again if I need more info. Is there a way to pin a window temporarily to the screen whilst I am working on Word or mail? Since I have a 22 inch screen, I can easily work on several windows concurrently.
You should read Lifehacker, whs. Whenever somebody requests a tool or hack, it's the first place I look. Here's what I came up with:

Hopefully exactly what you're looking for.

This can do the same but has even more functionality.

This doesn't do what you asked but could be used as an alternative solution.

Take a look, see what you think.
As taybay's post shows there are dozens of programs with the ability to have Windows be Always On Top (AOT).
One thing that is the same about them all though is they just toggle the AOT flag for the window so for what to use only depends on what interface you want to use.
I've used WatchCat for this before, recently I was trying DM2 and now I think I'll use FileBox Extender (taybay's second link).
I've been wanting a AOT button in the title bar for a while now.
Thanks for that link taybay.

Thanks guys. It's good to know you guys know all this stuff - how else could an old man survive. And thanks taybay for the lifehacker advice. Thing was news to me.
No problem guys. Lifehacker is my favorite blog(besides HTG). It's actually how I came across this site; it has featured HTG a number of times.
Also, I'm very jealous of your 22 inch screen, whs. XD
The 22 incher came with the desktop which has 3GB's, 350GB disk and AMD 4800+ and since they gave me one rebate too many I ended up paying $430 for the whole package (normally $599). That's what I call luck.
PS. one more question: The DeskPins looks like it would be most suitable for what I want to do. But it does not seem to support Vista. Now often those little programs run anyhow. Has any of you ever tried that one. And another dumb question: How do you 'unpin' it - just by closing the window?

I tried running Deskpins and it does work on Vista.
