Question

Uninstalling Bonjour service from Photoshop CS3?

Is there no proper way to uninstall the Bonjour service that is automatically installed with PS CS3? It is of little use to the average Windows user and the service is also messed up by being named "##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##" rather than "Bonjour Service".

It's certainly possible to manually remove the references to the service in the registry and hope for the best, but that's not good enough for a top dollar application.

    Doesn't work there either.

    Dahle's version does work in Run.

    I had the same problem, with or without the quotes.

    I'll try Run.

    Dahle,

    It sounds to me like you didn't include the quotes, which would be required due to the blank space between "Program" and "Files". But, if you did include the quotes and ran the command from the Command Prompt window, only to see it fail, then it may be that only works from the Start > Run dialog. I used the command earlier today from the Run window, with quotes, and it worked fine.

    Regards,

    Daryl

    The adobe web site says :-
    To remove Bonjour:

    Open a Windows command prompt and type the following command:
    "C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe -remove"
    Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
    Restart your computer
    Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder

    However, the first command line that they give did not work for me, I had to use " C:\Progra~1\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe -remove "

    for what it is worth........

    After uninstalling! Bonjour, there was still a folder at program files/Bonjour with mDNSResponder.EXE and a .dll file.

    I went into services and killed Bonjour (which was happily chucking along after 2 uninstalls), deleted mDNSResponder.exe. The .dll file could not be deleted, so I followed the advice given in the link I provided, and renamed the.dll file and rebooted. Now it could be deleted.

    However, checking Services, Bonjour is STILL LISTED, albeit disabled.

    Great software.

    has anyone tried simply disabling it like i explained in another thread?

    go into services, select it, right click> properties. select stop service, then change startup method from "automatic" to "disable".
