Uninstalling Bonjour service from Photoshop CS3?

[_Karlsson_Mikael_]

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.

It's also common knowledge that John Joslin is actually responsible for the breakup of the Beatles.

I was hoping you wouldn't mention that!

So it was
i you
and not Yoko?

It was not Yoko. It was not Linda. It was John Joslin. The very same John Joslin that works at Adobe. He is the one responsible for CS3. All by himself Jim outed John concerning Photoshop. I'm letting everyone know how he ruined the Beatles.

Suddenly I feel very guilty :(

And very well you should, Sir.

John Joslin circa 1971.

"Hey John, Paul says his name should be listed first on writing credits".

"Hey Paul, John says you aren't a very good base player".

"Hey George, you should introduce your wife to Eric Clapton".

"Hey Ringo, John, George and Paul said that you don't sing very well".

John Joslin circa 2006: "I'm in charge of Adobe Photoshop CS3 now and I have some really great ideas. Let's start with changing the Print Setup".

Suddenly, it all makes sense...

Thankfully, there is a way around their install procedure to choose what you want and a way to totally eliminate Bonjour.

So what is this method of installation full control? And why has nobody else asked this question? MY computer, I choose what to install!

Read this thread, first post, where I indicate how it is done. It works perfectly--never had a hiccup since doing it. Got exactly what I wanted on and nothing else.

More secrets coming out! :(

Does it still not use system resources?

Does it still not slow down start up?

not when it's disabled in the services applet. then it never starts.

"not when it's disabled in the services applet. then it never starts."

Where do I find the 'services applet'? In CS3 or in Windows? Thanks.

i Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Services

[Guest]

nobody reads post #1! :)

[R Popham]

Just to clarify, it's:

Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services

The Bonjour Service is not listed as "Bonjour Service". It will probably be at the top of the list of services, and will begin with:

##Id_String1.6 ...

Just disable it there and it won't bother you again.

what rick said. :)

Many thanks.
The bonjour service broke my Vista internet connection.
After removing the Bonjour service, everthing works normally.

After I installed Dreamweaver CS3, I had no internet connection after rebooting Windows Vista.

Windows would start up and show both my network and an "unknown network" in the Network & Sharing Center. This may have happened since my son has a mac attached to the network. Because of the "unknown network", Vista locked out my connection to the internet through my router.

The work around was to disable & then enable my network connection. I had to do this everytime I rebooted. Very annoying.

Adobe should remove Bonjour from Dreamweaver. There is almost nothing worse than installing the best web site development tool and finding that your internet connection is broken. It had me worried that there was a fundamental bug in Dreamweaver.

One gets the impression that they mean well but don't think things through.

In my book, that's incompetence and unforgivable in a market leading application.

CS3 seems to be littered with these bloopers.

Alternatively (on XP Pro):

Click Start > Right click on My Computer > Manage > Services and
Applications > Services > Extended tab and #Id is probably at the top of
the list.

Is it worthwhile in general disabling #Id?

deebs,

From my experience if you dont use iTunes or the rest of the CS suite you can disable it, I did. It is a service and as such will use some resources and there is no problem unless you try to uninstall it then it can get complicated. But unless you are desperate for hard disk space, just disable it and everything is back to normal.

Just my 2 cents...

Appreciated Tony - thank you for the details.
