Problems With My Startup Login Items

Hi all....

I'm currently running 10.11.3 Beta (15D9c) and everytime I restart my computer my login items disappear.

I noticed an unusual icon in the Login Items dialog list box.... something called "Letter". I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is or how I can get rid of it. I have deleted it and added my normal startup items all over again and it keeps on re-appearing... and I'm thinking this could be the offending culprit.

I have also run a thorough virus scan on my main startup Hard Drive using AVG for Mac and nothing was found.

Anyone got any ideas.... I usually have about 12 startup items that just make my life that bit easier in the morning when I sit at my desk to start work. It's not stopping me working.... but just irritating why this is happening.

Any suggestions or comments most welcome

Anthony
 
I just found out what that strange icon was... I right clicked on the name of the strange titled icon and it allowed me Show In Finder... and straight away it went to a Resources folder that displayed the familiar icon of DockStar which is a notification utility app I use with OSX Mail.... so that's solved that.... I have been using that for years so it's probably now not what's causing the Startup Login Items disappears.... maybe it's just a Beta glitch that will be resolved in future releases, but this issue was happening before I took the Beta plunge... actually I tried the update to try and hopefully resolve this issue.

Ahhh well... back to square one with this mysterious issue :)

Welcome to the land of cool apps that don’t get updated, which is what you have discovered.

But then it could be just a corrupt preference file -
 
Hi Cheryl... and thank you for your comments and suggestion.

I spoke with someone else about this issue... and seemingly it's a known issue with this particular Beta release, so hopefully it will be rectified and reverted back to the way it was in the public release of 10.11.3.

Thanks again for all your help.
