How to uninstall windowblinds

Sunday, January 9, 2005 by amSteve | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I'm having some display snafus and want to get XP to a pure, (sic) unadultered state. I've uninstalled stardock central and now WindowBlinds isn't running in the sys tray any more but does show up on the display properties page. How do I completely remove windowblinds?

how to uninstall wb5_public (shareware) complete ?
i want to know this because the uninstallation via stardock central doesnt delete all files.

wbsys.dll in c:\windows\system32 for example will not be deleteted
wbload.dll in c:\windows\system32 also too

i cant delete this files by hand because some other windows applications are using them. i dont know why but they use them :/

is there realy no way to kill wb5 complete from my harddrive ? no "kick this sh*t to hell" button ?

thx for fast answering my questions!
but i found out a way by myself.

booting from the the windows recovery cd and start recovery console (press r) change to the system32 directory and >del wbsys.dll

the hell ends here with the greatest uninstallation routine i ever used ^^

Umm, yeah, safe mode works well too.  You also need to go through your registry and take out the Stardock and Windowblinds listings in there.  Yep... it leaves those arround as well.  Gotta love the uninstall capabilities of WB5.


Anyone else think that in the process of trying to make WB5 less hackable and limit it's capabilites in the public version SD actaully created more problems for themselves?

Do you have inside information as to what difficulties they were having previous to including activation and placing a time limit on the shareware version?

As far as I'm concerned WB5 is a step back from 4.6 right now.  The damn thing can't even skin the command prompt.  What the hell is that about.  I would have not released WB5 until it met ALL of the capabilities of 4.6 and added to the list.  Either that or SD should have called it WB.5
