I've got USB Overdrive and GamePad Companion sitting on my System Preferences. I don't use either, and I'd like to get rid of, them but I'm not sure how. I'm still kinda new to maintenance when it comes to Macs, so I need some direction.
I'm running OS X 10.3.3.
Thanks!
Mike

They're either in ~/Library/PreferencePanes or /Library/PrefrencePanes. Just throw them out.

In Panther, simply right-click on the icon in System Preferences and click "Remove"...

Never heard of that hint before. Thanks! Have you submitted it to www.macosxhints.com yet?

It's already documented in Mac Help, which is built into your system.

The right-click to remove is rather cool, except for the fact that if the pref pane has a name longer than a few characters, you get the very useful: "Remove ... ence pane" or something like that - I'm sure it doesn't need to be that way.
I also found recently that you can have a look at the Ink preference pane even if you don't have anything to set it going - by opening its menu extra. Quite smartly, it realises again the next time you open System Preferences and hides it again.
