Removing Cardspace Icon from Control Panel

This is a repeat of a previous post (months ago). I'm still looking for an
answer. So, if anyone want to have a shot at it . . . .

------------------------------

Installing .NET 3.0 on my Windows XP (FAT32) system puts a CardSpace icon in
the control panel. Clicking on it brings up an error messages saying that it
won't work because either my system is not NTFS, or I'm not running it under
Administrator's Rights etc.

I tried to start the CardSpace service using services.msc, but only got
another error message.

So, my questions are:

Is .net 3.0 useless under FAT32?
What does CardSpace do anyways?
How can I remove the CardSpace icon from the control panel (no option using
TweakUI).

I've asked these questions, from time to time, in various forums, but no one
fells inclined to answer.
Are there answers to thest questions?

Thanks.

Cardspace requires NTSF:

Thanks for the links. The second link discusses removal of the CardSpace
icon, but does not offer a working solution. However, after all this time, I
just stumbled across the way to do it. TweakUI does, in fact, have an option
to remove the icon, but if you uncheck it, the icon still remains. Right
clicking on the icon in the Control Panel offers a "delete" option, but does
not delete the icon.

BUT, if you uncheck the option in TweakUI, AND delete it from within the
Control Panel, the icon is removed. Seems, at least at this point, that you
have to do both actions to remove the icon.

Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.
