Remove MobileMe icon from Menu Bar in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

I don't use MobileMe, I don't want monthly charges nor do I want to store my data elsewhere. So needless to say I don't want a MobileMe icon on my finder bar, so I remove it. It's so easy, literally click and drag it off the menu bar:

• Hold down the command key drag the Mobile Me icon off the menu bar

You can also remove or reorder most of the icons in the top right finder bar in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in this way.

Remove MobileMe MobileMe System Preferences pane in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

While you are at it, you may also want to remove the MobileMe System Preferences pane. No reason to look at extra stuff in your OS X system preferences either. To remove the offending Preference pane simply remove two files by entering the following command via the terminal.

sudo rm /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Mac.prefPane
sudo rm /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Internet.prefPane

Note: The sudo command is only for use by users who take responsibility for their own actions. These files may be replaced during future system updates.
