42 Spaces Open on Mission Control on starup (mavericks) On startup, when I press f3, I have 42 spaces open in mission control. Is this normal? Is there anyway to limit the amount of spaces that are open on startup in OSX? I don't remember this happening for versions before Mavericks.

If it helps i'm on a 2011 15 inch macbook pro (early).
It may be a bit tedious, but try closing all of the spaces and then restart your machine.  OS X will keep the spaces you had open when you restart, so if you restart with none it should start with none.
