Hi, My 10.10 is almost ready to be deployed to prod except that I am unable to hide Extensions Preferences inside System preferences. as I am unable to find the CFBundleIdentifier of this pref pane.
Currently it is greyed out because I have not added it in 'Enabled' nor 'Hidden' preferences array.
Any idea what is the Identifier for this?

Cindy,
All the OS default System Preference Panes live in the path of /System/Library/PreferencePanes/
Looking in there on a 10.10.2 Mac I see one labeled as Extensions.prefPane which is the one you're after. To get the Bundle Identifier, you need the following command from Terminal:
defaults read /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Extensions.prefPane/Contents/Info CFBundleIdentifier
That returns:
com.apple.preferences.extensions
And you can replace the path above to any other Preference Pane to get its Bundle Identifier as well.
Hope that helps.
