Remove Classic cleanly
There are two more places which may be looked to delete files:
Remove Classic cleanly
Well, I went for it, with no ill effects so far. I tried the instructions from the original hint, but I was still getting the Preference Pane showing up. Every time I would launch System Preferences, the ~/Library/Classic folder was being created again. I decided to get dirty and delete the System/Library/PreferencePanes/Classic.prefPane and System/Library/CoreServices/Classic Startup.app. No problems yet. YMMV. Be careful!

To me, the whole point was not to touch /System. A fresh install of Tiger or panther will still have those components in /System, but just decides on the fly not to show the Classic Prefpane.

Unfortunately, having Classic.prefPane around still impacts the system, even if OS9 is not present. For example, in a fresh install of Tiger without OS9, every time a volume is mounted, several "Classic" things happen for that volume:
As far as I know, there is no way to turn off that behavior without either removing /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Classic.prefPane or renaming it (e.g., to Classic.prefPane.off). That is unless I am missing something. Can someone speak more intelligently on this?

I still have the "9" in the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen near the clock, volume, screen res. Everything else has been removed. Any ideas on how to remove that "9" in the menu bar?

"Normally", you'd remove the menu bar OS 9 item by turning off this option in the Classic prefpane before you trash the Classic prefpane. But if that's gone now, just hold down the Command key, and drag the OS 9 item down and out of the menu bar. |
