How do you remove HP Share-to-Web folder from my computer?

Windows Vista: Print all this information first

To begin, remove HP Share-toWeb from the Start Up list so the program will not automatically install again. (Remember to click Continue for each step when it shows up.)

• == Go to the Start Search just above the Start button (Windows icon on bottom left). ==
• == Type in msconfig; System Configuration opens ==
• == Go to Startup ==
• == Look for a file from Hewlard Packard; it has a label HP hpqs2nd and uncheck the box to the left of it ==
• == Close this program ==
• == Restart your computer (Do not go on the Internet) ==

Next, in Windows Vista I uninstalled it from my Programs and Features with no problem.

• == Go to Control Panel (Listed when you click the Start button on right) ==
• == Click on Programs and Features ==
• == Click on HP Share-toWeb then click on Uninstall at the top of the program list ==

Restart your computer and all should work perfectly.

In some cases the solution above doesn't work: explorer.exe stops responding, when you clicks on the Share-to-Web icon.

In that case restart Windows (or only explorer.exe), create a batch file, with the following content:

REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.s2wdh" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{9E8BF6A5-1979-4D6C-A20D-40557856E78C}" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9}" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\s2wdh.SendToShlExt" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\s2wdh.SendToShlExt.1" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{8F5E5E7C-43FA-4BAC-9358-04E34CB46545}" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9}" /F
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved\{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9}" /F
REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v "Share-to-Web Namespace Daemon" /F

Pay attention to the linebreaks shown herein: in the file every line starts with REG DELETE and ends with /F. There are no linebreaks between them!

After running the batch file, restart the computer.

Be careful! Editing the Windows Registry is dangerous, and cannot be undone, if Windows crashes!
