Removing Stardock WindowsBlinds

skyblueheroes · 11-05-2007, 17:19

I have Stardock Window Blinds on my desktop, but never really used it and want to get rid of it.

Problem is that its not showing in Add/Remove Progs and loads on Startup (annoyingly). There is a Stardock folder in the Prog Files folder, but I can't just delete it.

Any ideas ?

Re-install it and try again to remove it?

Simply use the Uninstall icon in the WindowBlinds folder or Add/Remove Programs (in your Control Panel) to uninstall WindowBlinds. If you have configured WindowBlinds to start from the registry, please disable this option prior to uninstalling. We also recommend that you reboot without WindowBlinds before uninstalling to make sure locked files are removed. If you have added additional skins, you'll need to delete the \Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds directory to remove them. We've played it safe with the uninstall and not attempted to remove additional files.

Well, its on there now, with a 60day trial. Might leave it for a bit (like the new style) and remove later.

Thanks for suggestion.

I tried it once, got fed up with it's behaviour and used the uxtheme patch and visual styles instead.
