How do I prevent creative cloud from installing a desktop shortcut?

I have absolutely no need for a desktop shortcut to cc, since I have it running in the taskbar whenever I start my computer. What's worse is that I have to type in admin username and password to be able to delete these icons from my work computer. It's a pain that this thing that I don't want keeps popping up with every update. My desktop is already cluttered, it doesn't need Adobe's help making it worse.
Any way to stop Adobe from adding a desktop shortcut to CC?
Thanks!!

There is no option to uncheck "Create Desktop Shortcut" as in other installers as far as I know.

  • How can I prevent staff members from installing find my iPhone on their company iPhones?

    Hello,
    Staff members that are issued with company iPhones are syncing their personal Apple IDs to the phone and installing the find my phone app. When they then leave and the phone is wiped so that it can be set up for the next user, after the set up the phone is showing as locked to their Apple ID.
    Obviously if we get the phone handed to us personally we can unlock it and disable the app before wiping the phone but that's not always possible.
    Is there an app or a way of preventing users from installing the find my iPhone app?
    Cheers,
    Harri

    Did you already ask this question in the iPhone in Business and Education forum? As far as I remember there is an Apple app (Apple Configurator) that let you set up company devices and prevent other users from installing other apps after that.
    Another option would be letting them remove the device from Find my iPhone in order to deactivate the Activation lock feature again:

  • How do I access Creative cloud from my computer?

    I have had CC for a few years now but do not know how to access the 20G of cloud space available. Does it show up as a drive on my desktop? or, Can I make it that way? That would be most convenient but my main question is 'where is it?' and 'how do I get to it?'

    Any items (files and / or folders) you place in the Creative Cloud Files folder will by synced up to the cloud storage. (You can also Upload files just using a browser at the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files).
    Once you have items uploaded you can do a read-only share from the Files page using Send Link. Or you can allow others to update the folder by using Collaborate.
    If you use Send Link the person does not need an Adobe ID. Collaborate does require a free Adobe ID.

  • How to subscribe for Creative Cloud from Belarus?

    Hello
    I am willing to "pre-order" Creative Cloud but can't see online shop for Belarus (even in eastern Europe section). If I try to subscribe from adobe.com homepage directly, an error appears right before checkout procedure.
    Please, make the situation clear for visitors from my country

    This is an issue with our website we are working to resolve. I was able to work around the issue by using a different browser. Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • How can I prevent rogue software from installing itself via Firefox on my system?

    I don't know if this malware is exploiting a hole in Win7 or Firefox or both.
    So bear with me in my description. I am trying to ascertain if there are Win 7 security settings or configuration changes I can make to eliminate this. Or are there Firefox configuration settings I can change to prevent this or both. Did not find any help articles that seemed to address this from the search arguments I thought to use.
    In the last two weeks I have had two different "security product" windows activate on my Win7 Pro system. Somehow they prevented my starting anything else such as task manager. My AV application detected attempt to create outgoing internet connection in both instances. In either case I ceased using my system as soon as the malware Window activated. I was burned by a third party cookie exploit last year. If you clicked anything, you were toast, such as a "do you really want to navigate away from this page?" warnings. Didn't get one of these messages this time with either of these. But in both instances, registry entries were created for this malware and it installed itself in the following directory path, C:\users\{myID}\appdata\local\temp\ as dtjupjnml\lcuatursjmo.exe s well as registry entries under dtjupjnml and lcuatursjmo after searching with the regedit FIND feature. I didn't recall the names from the first instance, but it installed exactly the same way.
    This did not come from an e-mail attachment or link. I don't do those.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • In Acrobat Reader DC for Android, how do I prevent Verizon Cloud from launching when clicking the floating action button to retrieve files?

    I have a Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy S5, which means a lot of Verizon apps were added from the factory install.
    Recently I upgraded Adobe Acrobat Reader to its most recent version.
    When I clicked on the floating action button to open a PDF, it launched Verizon Cloud instead of showing my file directory.
    Unless I disabled Verizon Cloud altogether, every time I did this, I would get the Verizon Cloud app instead of a file listing.
    Reader DC is the only app that does such a thing. Is this a defect?

    Thanks for the information.
    To remove the Verizon cloud storage from Adobe Acrobat DC application, you can 'Turn off' the Verizon cloud application from 'Settings'-->'Application Manager'-->'All applications'. After doing this, every time you tap on the Floating Action button, you will be presented the list of all your pdf files on your device.
    If you would like to view both the Verizon cloud based files as well as files from your internal memory/SD card, I would request you to download some file manager application from the Google Play Store such as And Explorer, ES File Explorer etc. After doing this, whenever you will tap on the floating action button, you will be provided an option to open the files either from the Verizon cloud or the files on your device.
    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you observe any more issues.
    Thanks.

  • How do I delete Creative Crowd from my pc?

    How do I delete Creative Cloud from my pc? 

    I think I worded my request wrongly.  I've deleted the Creative Clowd  Files via Control Panel already.  However, I note that the accouint is still being considered by Adobe as active.  What I should have requested was how to cancel and close the account, so my credit card wouldn't be charged $19.99 monthly for a program I'm not using, and do not need.  How do I accomplish this?

  • How do you transfer Creative Cloud (Light Room & Photo Shop) from your old Desk top to a new desk top

    I have just got a new desk top and I am trying to work out how to get The creative Cloud programs I use (light Room and Photo Shop) off my old Desk top and onto the new desktop. Does any one know how to do this or have already done it, or do you have to cancel the subscription on the old PC and start a new subscription for the new PC.

    Hi Jessica,
    You do not need to cancel the subscription. You can simply follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps which will help you to install the Adobe CC application on your new PC.
    If possible you can also deactivate the license from your previous computer using the article: Activation & Deactivation Help.
    Let me know if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?

    Here my specs : Windows 7 Pro 64 bit ● 10GB DDR3 RAM ● Intel Core i7 ● AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series
    Here my story :
    One day, little Creative Cloud said it had an update to be installed on itself. Possibly taking it from version 1.7 to 2.0 or something. I clicked on update. Creative Cloud started downloading and once it was done it said update complete. I clicked on finish or something. Once that happened, it disappeared completely. Gone from taskbar, Window closed and shortcut gone ! I looked into the Creative Cloud folder, in the Adobe folder and there were two folders : Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Cloud_2.7.0.413. I then went into the Adobe Creative Cloud folder and double opened the application therein. It opened the Creative Cloud desktop app BUT showed it had an update just as before for itself. I AGAIN clicked on update, and then it said "Error 50" , unable to update. I searched around and somewhere on the forums it said I must download adobe cloud and reinstall it. I did that and ever since that dreadful day, little Creative Cloud desktop app doesn't want to show ALL my installed apps anymore. It simply shows only 2 !
    This is what I have : Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Media Encoder, Fireworks. What it only shows in Creative Cloud desktop app : Flash Professional, Dreamweaver.
    What I tried doing :
    1.) Re-installing the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
    2.) Changing the directory settings for APPS and pointing them to the actual location of the installed apps.
    3.) Deleting or renaming the "opm.db" file.
    4.) YES, I RESTARTED MY PC !!!
    What I want to do :
    1.) Receive a fix that will make ALL my installed apps show.
    2.) Find out what the hell the difference is between the concept of having TWO versions of the same program installed BUT getting updates for BOTH like "Adobe Photoshop CC" and "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014". I installed the Adobe Photoshop CC this year almost 2 months ago for example. Then CC told me there is an app update and that got me Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. Now I have two versions of the above listed programs... Why doesn't CC just UPDATE the Adobe Photoshop CC, rename and list ONLY Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 in the end ?
    What I do not want : RE-DOWNLOAD OR RE-INSTALL ALL MY INSTALLED APPS ! This not only will cost me a lot of internet bandwidth but also a considerable amount of time. There must be a simple fix as all files are in place ! I can launch all apps individually and they are working both the "" versions and the 2014 ones.
    My question : How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?

    Hi alextz11,
    The email in the forum does not reflect any Creative Cloud order. Please follow the steps in
    Locate the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE directory and rename it to OOBE_OLD
    Download and reinstall the Creative Cloud Application from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
