To do that, just use this command:defaults read loginwindow | grep Path > “/Users/your_user/Desktop/loginitems.txt”You can change the path and filename at the end to whatever you like, of course, and replace your_user with your user’s short username.Both the easy way and the not-so-easy way work well; it’s just a question of whether you need a more-permanent version of the path information or not.”
