From: NJITGS on 25 Mar 2006 07:29 Would anyone happen to know how to remove the HP Share-To-Web association from my computer? ex. When right clicking an item in the Send To list it is present and when I open it and attempt to use it it does not offer any valid locations and I cannot add or customise a location for it, so therefore it is useless to me. It is not in the Add/Remove Programs list and there is no uninstaller for it in it's programs folder. Perhaps someone knows the registry values for removing it. Thanks in advance for your help!

You should check with HP tech support in that case or just leave it alone. Another example of HP's cr*ppy programming. You can remove the icon from your Desktop by right-clicking it and I believe you should be able to delete it. You can also stop the process from running by using the System Configuration Utility. The file is hpgs2wnf.exe. Start>Run>msconfig [enter]. Find hpgs2wnf and uncheck the box next to its name. Apply and OK out. You don't need o restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again". To remove the right-click context menu entry, the easiest way is with the free ShellExView program which you can get here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

From: NJITGS on 25 Mar 2006 08:38 Hi Malke- .....Ant thank you for your help! Following your instructions I have found that the HP Share To Web is not checked in the System Configuration Utility and I have also downloaded the ShellEXView program and it is not there. As you have mentioned, it is part of my HP scanners installation and I don't recall being given the option in the custom installation of it's software to install the HP STW, and at this point uninstalling and reinstalling my scanners software will not remove it either. It would seem that it needs to be removed from the registry values, unfortunately I do not know where to look in the registry to do so. Thanks again!

Since I don't have any Windows machines with that software installed, I can't check in the registry for you. You could do a search in the registry for the program, but I'd hesitate to remove anything without knowing what its function was. Best check with HP or bitterly live with it. Sorry.
