Stupid Adobe Creative Cloud

[Sailor7788]

Adobe are such bastards!   They purposely removed the preferences to allow you to stop their stupid program from running at every startup, and you can't uninstall the program either.   I NEVER USE THE DAMN PRGRAM!

to uninstall completely:

uninstall every cc app including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
restart your computer

No they didn't.

It's the Gear icon and then you get this.
