Settings -> General -> Startup/shutdown -> Reopen last project on startup. If for any reason you need to change this setting without using the UI (for example if IDEA is hanging when it opens your project), you can find the setting in eg
/.IntelliJIdea10/config/options/ide.general.xml The location of the file is documented in http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-181
The specific setting you need to change (or add) is
<application> <component name="GeneralSettings"> <option name="reopenLastProject" value="false" /> </component> </application> In the latest version of IntelliJ, the location of this file on a Mac is
~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.2/options/ide.general.xml If you have the settings repository enabled, then it can be found here:
~/.IntelliJIdea${idea_version}/config/settingsRepository/repository/ide.general.xml
