You’ll either love or hate Mac OS X Lion’s Restore feature. If you didn’t know it the Restore feature kicks in when you relaunch an app. All the windows that were open the last time you used that app are open again and restored when the app launches again.
Although Restore works great for some apps like Safari I don’t really like how it works for the Preview app. Lucky for us we can permanently turn Restore off for Preview.
Locate the Terminal app in Applications –> Utilities and launch it. Enter the following command and press enter to permanently turn Restore off for Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
if you change your mind later change false in the line above to true instead.
