How to Disable Adobe Gamma

Adobe Gamma is a tool that enables the user to calibrate the color usage on a computer monitor to provide the best possible environment when working with graphics. Adobe Gamma saves an ICC profile, which is a file that contains a report of the characteristics of the monitor. This profile may be used by applications that use ICC profiles, such as Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Gamma ensures that the end product in graphics production is an accurate representation of the artist's intended work. Adobe Gamma may be prevented from loading on startup, if desired, by removing the Gamma Loader from the Windows startup script.

Instructions

1. Right-click the "Start" button on the Windows desktop, and select "Explore" from the menu to open Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to the following folder in the left navigation pane of Windows Explorer:

   "C:\ Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

3. Right-click on the "AdobeGammaLoader.exe" file in the Startup folder.

4. Click "Remove" from the context menu.

5. Reboot the computer. The Adobe Gamma will not load during startup.
