Disable quicklookd on 10.6.7 client

[macthek9]

Anyone here know how to disable quicklookd on a SL client? We need total abandonment of quicklook on a Mac client, to help alleviate a directory locking issue on a cifs network volume. According to MS, this will resolve a huge problem…

Please advise!!

sudo -s {return}
(type in local admin password)

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/Resources {return}

mv quicklookd.app quicklookd-orig.app {return}

reboot {return}
