Login Items

The login items payload manages the login items normally found in a user’s Login Items tab in the Users and Groups System Preference pane.

It shares a lot of functionality with the loginwindow domain. In fact the same code handles both, with the exception that the loginwindow domain applies at the system level only - NEEDS VERIFICATION.
