Does you photoshop cs6 load dynamiclinkmanager.exe ?

Question

Hi
i run cs6 with last updates , normal not extended , under windows 7
I had before cs5 , i installed cs6 it imported my cs5 preferences and after i uninstall cs5
now it's weird because my photoshop loads C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6\dynamiclinkmanager.exe
i used process hacker or taks manager or process explorer to find it
does your photoshop load dynamiclinkmanager.exe ? please tell me if you have the stand alone version or the master collection
ps another weird thing is the minibrige ,it's gray i can't use but if i reset cs6 prefrences it come back active , this is not a problem i hate minibrige
thanks

Answer 1

DynamicLinkManager does not run for me on my system.  I have loaded videos successfully into Photoshop, though I don't normally use if for that.
Adobe loads far too many "manger" this, "helper" that, "updater" the other, and "service" applications.  The good news is that most can be disabled without detrimental effect, though in this particular case that doesn't seem to explain why DynamicLinkManager does not run.
Note that I have my Photoshop Help facility set up to open in a web page via Internet Explorer.
FYI, this is the complete list of processes I have running right now, courtesy the Windows tasklist command:
