I installed my CS3 upgrade last night and all went just as it should. I had cleaned out all the left over’s from the CS3 beta before hand by uninstalling and manually deleting any left over files and then running Registry Mechanic to clean up the rest of the leftover bits. BUT, that brings me to my question. With out my wanting them, it installed, version clue, device central and stock photos. I will never use any of these programs and I resent the space they take up and any clock cycles they may use.
They don’t show up in the add/remove programs so I can’t get rid of them that way. Can I just delete their directories? Is there a tool or instructions on how to get rid of them? Any ideas? Why can’t the install program ask if I want that stuff or not.

Thanks to all who answered. Guess I will need to decide if un-installing and re doing it is worth it.

Thanks:

Bear in mind the caveats that have been expressed about using this ingenious little feature!

If you find that you have not installed any feature that you need (in the future) simply run setup, and install it. All the other caveats that were expressed have not proven to have any substance.

Selective install uses the menu provided in the code by Adobe. It works perfectly.

The only caveat that applies is to learn about the features, and then choose those you need.
