How to remove annoying! HP Share-to-Web

Istanbul · 08-10-2005, 10:05 PM

Hello,

This HP Share-to-Web software came in a bundle from hp in the scanner software. It is annoying as I don't know what! I can not delete it. I tried many things. 3rd party softwares and all. Can't get rid of it. I am not a hp fan anyways but this annoying thing is about to make me hate hp. I do not wish to share anything. Why would some freaky software would think it is the only and most important thing in the world. And why the hack it doesnt have the remove or delete option. Is it from heaven ? wth. pls help me. I am extremely upset... Thank you in advance.

it should have a folder under program files. If you join us for lunch we can move it for you :)

I think you will find it can be removed from add/remove programs in the control panel.

Istanbul is absolutely right regarding all his observations.
Since I have at this very moment faced a fight to remove the obnoxious damn Share-To-Web from my PC, I fell like sharing the definitive solution to remove it from windows.
I know this thread is old. I am posting to help the desperate ones that still couldn’t remove Share-To-Web using the current tips on the web.
Share-To-Web is a bunch of dlls, exes and folders that pollute the PC. I removed ALL of it from my system doing the following simple procedure:
Warning: the procedure is boring.
1) Open the native registry editor of windows: Regedit.exe (all windows have one).
2) Do a backup of registry. If you mess all you may be able to restore it.
3) Use the menu item: edit -> Find. Fill in the key-word: (Share-To-Web) in the text box (Find What), and start to search.
4) You shall find the word in (Keys), (Values) and or (Data). IMPORTANT: delete the all the keys that hold values with Share-To-Web key-word. Don’t delete only the value, but the keys also. Except the cases when the key hold values related to other softwares; in this case delete only the values and data with Share-To-Web.
5) The search process is iterative. Search one by one with F3 and delete ALL.
When all is done, restart the PC. Now you have a faster pc, with less dlls and exes loaded and the Share-To-Web folder disappeared from the desktop :)
…
By the way, to hell with HP that provided no support when I needed. My system: HP Pavilion dv2740se.
