You can disable it system wide. But it also works on a per-app basis: if you don't want the UI state restored, then just quit the app with Cmd+Option+Q (instead of the regular Cmd+Q) and OS X will not save the application state.
- nnnnni 12y agoI wish that there would have been a setting in the program options ("Preferences"... I don't know why, but that word annoys me in this context) so that the user wouldn't always have to do cmd-opt-q. Maybe the best option would be to have a checkbox that swaps the behavior ("don't save the output unless I press cmd-opt-q"). THANKS for letting us know about cmd-opt-q! I'll have to start using that all the time since it does seem like a potential security hole.
- interpol_p 12y agoYou can disable window restoration system wide (System Preferences -> General -> "Close windows when quitting an app"). So you don't have to use the shortcut at all in that case. Personally I prefer getting used to using it on a case-by-case basis. For example, when I leave work I tend to quit most apps on my laptop with Cmd+Option+Q, so that when I get home they don't re-open with work and I can start working on personal projects.
