The
  
  
  General > Startup and Shutdown
  preference page allows the selection
  of plug-ins to be automatically activated during workbench startup. 
Normally plug-ins are not activated until they are needed. However some plug-ins may specify that they wish to be activated during startup. This preference page allows the selection of which of these plug-ins will actually be activated during startup.
