SPARTAN  It does not work with 10.5.5 to disable System services like the infamous ChineseTextConverter.

BEPE  idem …

I dont have access to the system services (Chinese Textconverter, Finder, …), so I can't disable them :-((

Suggestion : It can be useful to sort the services by type : system / external providers, disable / enable.

Great work

PS : is there a possible way to have the services menu into a contextual menu (under right clic) ??

UNCOY  Makes the service menu usable again. Only one of the service menu editors which actually works. Check out Butler and Witch also.

Peter Mauer and Marcel Brink (Tinker Tool and Hardware Monitor) are two of very few programmers whom I trust with system level utilities. Rock solid.

I've donated to almost every product they write and recommend you consider making a donation as well.

Any of their code is better and more useful than 90% of the $30+ shareware apps out there.

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is just great. It doesn't do much, but for what it does, it performs great. It's fascinating how Apple wouldn't implement such a feature within Finder, right off the bat.

I've never had any problems with Service Scrubber and it will continue to be part of my most essential apps collection.

5 stars, all cathegories.

MINIMAL DESIGN  Everything created by Peter Maurer is a must have...

I wouldn't know how to use OS X without Butler and this is yet another super useful and perfectly designed app.

BURRO  Will this help change the e-mail app called upon by the "Mail->Send..." menu items?

PETER MAURER  No. Sorry. Service Scrubber lets you change the structure of your services menu, but you can't change what a given service actually does.

If you want your (non-Mail.app) e-mail client to provide a service for sending e-mails, you'll have to contact the developers of that e-mail client.

ALANR  Very nice. I *finally* got rid of Chinese Text Convertor (and a few other duds).

Thanks!

SZABESZ  Seems to be working on 10.3.9, but there is a small interface glitch. The "Service Providers" text on the left side is overwritten with the first service. So they occupy the same place.
