Is Lotus going to let me disable Sametime in 8.5.1?

Subject: Is Lotus going to let me disable Sametime in 8.5.1?

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Install

Platform: ALL

Release: Announcement

Reproducible: Always

- I see this icon in my system tray that claims it's "IBM Lotus Sametime Connect". We don't use Sametime ... it doesn't play nicely with firewalls according the Admin Alpha Geek, and if we manage to bypass that The Paranoids that run the firewall will freak out. So Sametime does not exist for us.

- Yet I see this icon in my system tray, taking up space for absolutely no reason at all. I can't use Sametime and I don't want to see it. Period.

- While I'm on the subject of not seeing, I also see nsd.exe squandering resources the entire time the computer is running, even when Notes isn't loaded, because it's a service now. Since I've been forced to use VMs to run multiple client instances I don't have system resource to fritter away on processes that aren't being used.

- Thanks for your time...
