You can quickly remove any third party System Preference pane from the Other section of “System Preferences” by control-clicking or right-clicking on the icon, and selecting “Remove Preference Pane”, it will immediately disappear.
You can also hide unwanted System Preferences from appearing in the control panel without actually removing them. This is a helpful distinction for setting up other user accounts or just for hiding System Prefs you never access and no longer need:
- Open “System Preferences” from the Apple menu and pull down the “View” menu, selecting “Customize”
- Uncheck each preference panel you want hidden, then click “Done”
For Mac OS X Lion and iCloud users, this is a simple way to ditch the now unnecessary MobileMe preferences from cluttering the options.
For setting up a limited user account, hiding many of the panels and then sorting the remaining panes alphabetically can make the entire System Preferences app easier to use.
