Run workflow without automator open?

[iPod Nano]

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well. I have an automator workflow designed to open several applications. I want to run it automatically when I log in to my account. Any way to do it without having automator open?

OS X Leopard 10.5.6
Automator 2.0.2

I don't use Automator but this should work.

Open Automator, create your workflow and save it as an application, not a workflow (look under "File Format:" in the save dialog). Now, make this application a login item for your user. To do that, go to System Preferences > Accounts > select your user name > Login Items > click the + button to add it.

You may also be able to check the box to hide it but I'm not sure if that will work.

Great! Thanks. If you want it, I'll send it to you. Or will that not work?

I have Automator (comes with OS X) - I just don't use it . Plus, I'm sure that's against the EULA somehow.

No, I just mean the app I created with Automator. It works well and I'm wondering if you want to try it.

Alright. Thanks for your help. I'd give you +rep but it won't let me. I'll do it later when I can.
