There aren't any options for this currently, although I understand why you want to do this and I can't understand why this isn't available. You can search for some hacks to core which disable this (they definitely exist), but I can't be more helpful than that right now I'm afraid.

Drupal search is not very intutive .... actually I did not find it. This issue was there during 4.7x but even with 5.1 there has been no solution, like in general settings a simple switch to turn it off or on.
I wish there was some system to escalate the problem to some higher level ( issue tracker ... but no, it has plenty of unsolved things ) which could guide us through some basic, no-frills-asked, options like this one ( though basic is a relative term I understand )

Thanks for your input, NikLP.

Best regards

I know what you mean about Drupal search, I haven't had much luck finding anything like this either.

Not tested:
Removing this code from your page.tpl.php mite help. After removing it, reupload your template.
<?php print $feed_icons ?>

Now the next bit of CSSs hides the orange buttons, however, most browser still read it, in firefox, it will show the feed icon in the right side of the URL.

.xml-icon{display:none;}//rest of feeds
.ical-link{display:none;}//for the calendar only

Thanks a lot.
I can make the feed icons invisible by replacing them with tranparent pngs.
BUT browser detects RSS.
The most important thing then is how to cut off the resource usage taken up by rss when I do not need it all ?

Best regards

Rather than replacing them with transparent PNGs, use CSS to hide them. The space they use is removed.
Just some tips.

I bet you could do some .htacess magic to send the feed url somewhere. Maybe?

Simply rename feed.png (/usr/share/drupal5/misc/feed.png) to whatever you can remenber (ie: feed.png.org) and thats it!

No image, no link, no code in the page!

I used this method and it is EASY! Any side effects other than turning off for all sites on the install?

"Bad code".

Don't do that - just override the rss theme function if you really want to get rid of this. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_feed_icon/5

It is silly that this minor thing just still cannot be configured!

Here is my solution:
In your page.tpl.php:

<?php 
$proto = $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https://' : 'http://';
$host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$port = ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 80 ? '' : ':'. $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']);
$complete_url = $proto . $host . $port;
$head_replace_needle = '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="' . $head_title . ' RSS" href="'.$complete_url.'/rss.xml" />'.chr(10);
$head = str_replace($head_replace_needle, '', $head);
print $head; 
?>

I have been working on this all day and finally...

http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect

just redirect rss.xml and any other problem rss feeds to a specified node or the front page.

I am redirecting to /rss a node I created where I will link to all the views rss feeds that I make and actually want people to access!!!

I tried using .htaccess but it was too confusing with a multisite setup now I just enable the path_redirect module on the sites I need it on.

let me know if this misses something.

ps. I don't know if this fixes the robots problem but I assume it does

... that's quite smart from a certain point of view, but you're neglecting certain other factors.

1) Taxonomy creates feeds for every term automatically.
2) Views and other modules (e.g. site_map) can do similarly.

As such, you can't really depend on path_redirect, as you would have to manually add an entry to that every time you created a term, which is untenable. If you're not using taxonomy to make feeds tho, you really needn't worry about it I guess.
