[OT] Startup apps under Yosemite

You can try hiding all the other processes set to launch at login except your kiosk app, and making sure that loads last. I cannot find on Yosemite where the *actual* finder app is. Otherwise I would suggest adding the finder before your Kiosk app and selecting the hide checkbox for the Finder. 

The other thing you can probably do if you do not need the finder is to have a terminal command file launched with the command killall Finder. However I am not sure how to keep the OS from relaunching it.

There is one odd thing now with setting startup applications with the user account on Yosemite as after all of the start up applications are loaded (in this case just the exhibit app) finder is brought to the front. I've tested this with a number of apps and finder always comes up on top at the end of startup. Anyone know of a work around so that after startup the app does not need to be clicked on to bring it to the front?
