Does anyone know how to Turn off Windows Cardspace? I would like to remove it from my PC if possible I have no use for it on the specific Windows 7 PCs it is on, but I've found references to it being integrated into Windows NT functionality, so I don't want to mess anything up.
Windows 7 Pro

Thanks!
