BONOBO  I'M HAPPY to witness that Many Tricks is back online, with the great communicator Rob Griffiths (of MacOSXHints fame) joining the company.

There have been RECENT UPDATES, they have an ACTIVE BLOG now, and I definitely know they ARE ACTIVELY WORKING on cool new stuff as well as on more updates to their existing software.

See http://www.manytricks.com and http://www.manytricks.com/blog for more information.

And no, I'm not married to Peter or Rob or Alex, and I'm not affiliated with Many Tricks, I'm just a happy user of some of their stuff, and I'm in contact w/ them over their blog.

OFFLINE  They're back on-line again.

Great! Looking forward to more good work.

This is a very helpful utility that runs under 10.6.2 and is unique in it's functionality.

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) ??

ROBERT  @BEPE, if you are running 10.5, you can install ICeCoffEE.

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.

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!
