This tip worked for me, and also inspired me to get rid of the .Mac preference pane as well:

cd /System/Library/PreferencePanes
sudo mv Mac.prefPane Mac.prefPane.old

Now if only I could get rid of the iDisk menu item in the Finder....

Won't this:

> cd /System/Library/PreferencePanes
> sudo mv Mac.prefPane Mac.prefPane.old

break "Internet.prefPane"?

I see this line:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Jun 22 09:48 Internet.prefPane -> Mac.prefPane

When using "ls -al" to show the contents of "/System/Library/PreferencePanes"
