Thanks to the tip about a Service Manager I was able to disable services easily. Now they do appear in PM, too.
I noticed many services are not in (~)/Library/Services or .../ PreferencePanes; some of them came with apps I tried but declined to use (quite a few notebook apps with services). However, clicking on their icons in Service Manager reveals them in the Finder, so managing is not too difficult. Thanks for all the tips, All the best Willem 11:40 am Wednesday, February 25, 2004 Tim Tim Hodgson sent the following message: >On Tue, Feb 24, 2004 at 9:24 pm -0500, Michael Lewis wrote: > >>>There's a bug in < 10.3, and I'm not sure when/if it was squashed in >>>10.2.x, where if you have more than a certain number of Services, they >>>stop working in Carbon apps. >> >>Not sure what they limit is, if any in 10.2.8, but I have 16 services >>listed and some of those have 2-3 or more "sub-services" which I suppose >>would count?
