Disabling iSight Camera

Dear everybody,

I have a 10.6.2 operating system and I would like to disable the iSight camera for applications. I have looked at some solutions on the web and they point to moving the QuickTimeUSBDigitizer.component file in a backup area. I know this used to work for 10.5 but not for 10.6.

Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
