I have seen some questions about this issue, but no direct answer, which I understand.I have installed this client and starting the notes client - the Lotus Sametime connect 8.0 start as well in the system tray, which I don’t want to. (We don’t use it)
This very superb piece of software - there must be a way to disable this!!??
Please help - thanks 
Subject: Also interested
In the older versions Sametime could be disabled in the location documents. Since I installed LN 8, I’ve been digging thru trying to find where its hidden now. Any one who finds this please post it !

Not sure if this works in 8.0x: IM_DISABLED=1
Might be worth a try?
Subject: No - IM=DISABLED=1 - is NOT working
Actually - I tried that already - but tested in again - just to be sure.
The sametime connect is still been startet!!!
Please help - any other ideas for solution???
