Remove Updater folder created by Photshop CS2

[BoardBabe]

Each time I open Photoshop or Illustrator CS2 i get an Updater folder in My documents. I have disabled the update function in both apps, but folder still appears. Any way to disable the creation of this folder or set hidden attribute in worst case on this dir during UA?

You should be able to copy a folder called "Updater" with hidden/read-only attributes to the My Documents directory prior to installing Photoshop, perhaps using $OEM$. Haven't found a way to disable this nag, however.

After Installation of Photoshop/Illustrator you can just run the following cmd to hide.

MKDIR "%UserProfile%\My documents\Updater"
ATTRIB +H "%UserProfile%\My documents\Updater"

As an addition to the 'other thread', you could create a dummy file with the same name as the folder, and set its attributes.

if exist "%UserProfile%\My Documents\Updater" rd /q "%UserProfile%\My Documents\Updater"
type nul> "%UserProfile%\My Documents\Updater"
attrib +r +h "%UserProfile%\My Documents\Updater"

Hmmm, I don't see why this is any point, sorry. Can you please explain? I'm sure you have a good point, just me not getting it

For the paranoid among you who believe that Adobe can still use a hidden folder, regardless of the fact you've asked them not to! If the folder is just a file in disguise, then they cannot!

I can still put the photographic evidence of yourself and you know who, in your spouses hidden purse, especially as I know where it is kept. However if the hidden purse is only a piece of paper pretending to be a purse, then I cannot.

Nice explanation, thnx!

I don't understand what you guys said (no offense- I'm just not understanding what cmd means and all that), but what I did was right-clicked the folder, and chose to make it a hidden folder. I'll see if this works.
