What Does Extension Manager Turn Off?

Q What does turning everything off in the Extension Manager actually turn off?

A The only files which Extension Manager turns off are those which it shows. Conversely, those items not shown by the Extension Manager will not be turned off. This information is not documented, and the following list is not guaranteed complete or accurate and is certain to change in the future.

There are four creator types that Extension Manager does not show in its list: 'mntr', 'DMOV', 'extE', and '8INI'. Items of type 'extE' and '8INI' are not shown because the Extension Manager extension has the creator of 'extE' and the Extension Manager control panel has the creator of '8INI'. This way you can not use Extension Manager to disable itself.

Also, Extension Manager will not show any item of type 'INIT', 'RDEV', or 'cdev' if they have the "No INITs" Finder flag set.

Extension Manager only shows items whose types are:

'INIT'
'RDEV'
'cdev'
'PRES'
'PRER'
'adev'
'fext'
'scri'
'cbnd'
'fbdn'
'tbnd'
'ddev'
'appe'
'gc24'
'adrp'
'dbgr'
'dfil'
'APPL'
'FFIL'
'pext'
'vbnd'

See OPS 06 for items turned off with Shift Booting.
