Does anyone have the link to the "Component Zapper".
I upgraded my video driver last night and though I unloaded all programs, I did not deselect the "run at start-up" option in my 3 widgets.
The result when I rebooted was that the resolution went from 1280x1024 to 800x600 and one of my widgets (a weather widget) was apparently pushed off screen.
Everything I tried, and believe me I did all but edit the registry, I could not get the widget to display again. At best, it would display for literally one second and then disappear (and of course Task Manager indicated it was running).
In the end, I swapped out the drive with my backup, so was up and running about 15 minutes after I decided to do so, but I still need to remove all trace of the programs so I can attempt a true clean install. For some reason, even though I uninstall, delete all folders (including hidden ones), delete restore archives in SDC - the calendar and digital clock widgets that I use remember their settings including color.
There must be something written that is not being removed with uninstall and deletion.
If someone could leave a link to the "Component Zapper" I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
