How to Delete Organizer

  • May 21, 2019

I upgraded to Photoshop Elements version 2019 from version 2.  I have a system for organizing my files.  Organizer it too intrusive and seems to do things I don't ask it to do.  I want delete/disable it.  I have no use for it.

    You are the boss. Tell the organizer you don't want anything automatic or assisted. Menu Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis...

    Untick everything.

    And when in the 'Save as' menu in the editor, don't tick the box to 'Include in the organizer'. Do that once, that choice is sticky.

    Now, don't throw the baby with the bath water... you don't know what you may be missing.

      Yes, you most certainly want to start the editor directly, but keep in mind that some automatic tasks may run if they are not disabled first in the organizer (even if you never launch it). So, at least once, open the organizer and disable those tasks.

          Thanks MichelBParis, for taking the time to respond to my question. Yes, your suggestions seem to have disabled Organizer’s preference for lurking around and operating in the background.
