Removing Ecommerce from 4.2
+1, I wouldn't want it there either...
Goto Administration -> Backend Pages
Then in the pull down "Action" for the eCommerce page, un-select "Show in Navigation". Hit refresh and it should be gone.
regards.

I know I can remove it that way, but this is an extra step that I have to go through with each install.
Thanks Stevo!
Hello John,
The other option is after creating the project and before initializing it, add one of the following SystemConfig.config in the ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration:
<?
xml
version
=
"1.0"
encoding
=
"utf-8"
?>
<
systemConfig
xmlns:config
=
"urn:telerik:sitefinity:configuration"
xmlns:type
=
"urn:telerik:sitefinity:configuration:type"
>
<
applicationModules
>
<
add
name
=
"Catalog"
startupType
=
"Disabled"
/>
<
add
name
=
"Orders"
startupType
=
"Disabled"
/>
<
add
name
=
"Shipping"
startupType
=
"Disabled"
/>
</
applicationModules
>
</
systemConfig
>
<?
xml
version
=
"1.0"
encoding
=
"utf-8"
?>
<
systemConfig
xmlns:config
=
"urn:telerik:sitefinity:configuration"
xmlns:type
=
"urn:telerik:sitefinity:configuration:type"
>
<
applicationModules
>
<
remove
name
=
"Catalog"
/>
<
remove
name
=
"Orders"

<
remove
name
=
"Shipping"
/>
</
applicationModules

</

Hi,
I installed 4.2 earlier today. Does that mean the Ecommerce module got installed for me, adding unneeded extra clutter? I have troubles understanding why the Ecommerce module isn't opt in. I would guess that most users here do NOT need it, so it'd make sense to disable it by default.
The same goes for many other modules. I mean, I just started a simple project, and I currently need 54 project references. I don't need many of them (Analytics, Facebook, Twitter...), but if the concerned assemblies aren't included, this results in blocking exceptions. With each Sitefinity upgrade, the reference list keeps growing.
End of rant.
By the way, could the config change you suggested improve performances in any way, if the pages have already been hidden following what Stevo said?
Thanks.
Hello Thomas,
Please check the following page:
http://www.sitefinity.com/purchase/license-comparison.aspx
The Ecommerce functionality is enabled or disabled depending on your license type. Even if you do not hava license for the Ecommerce, the functionality is still in the assemblies we distribute, but it is locked. It gets automatically unlocked if you upgrade to a license which allows it.
