[SUB]note: all screencaps are taken with Gyazo and reuploaded on imgur[/SUB] Hello Facepunch! So, I used to use Gyazo for all my screenshotting needs, but then it began making [img]http://gyazo.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/limit.gif[/img]s all over the place. So, I began looking for a new system. I'd heard good things about Imgur, so I checked out the tools: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UDZt0.png[/IMG] I downloaded Hyperdesktop and gave it a shot. However, it didn't work out for me (kept returning errors, also I didn't like the UI). So, I decided to delete it. This is where it gets interesting... Downloading Hyperdesktop only provides you with a .exe and a readme. I deleted the pair, but Hyperdesktop stayed there: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5EYmD.png[/IMG] "About" provides no clues about removal, and "exit" only closes it until the next login. [t]http://i.imgur.com/0Yj4N.png[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/JIJRB.png[/t] Hyperdesktop doesn't show up in Add or Remove Programs or in the search. Well, let's open the registry... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LhfwQ.png[/IMG] There it is! Maybe deleting it will solve things... [B]Nope.[/B] The next time I boot up my lappy, Hyperdesktop is back. So, I'm out of ideas. Anybody have any ideas or recommendations?
Delete it again, then press the start button* and 'R' at the same time. Type in "Msconfig" and press enter. Go to "Autostart" and uncheck "HyperDesktop". Reboot your system. * The one with the Windows logo.
Thanks - I was able to locate the Program Files (x86) location of Hyperdesktop and remove it there, and I think that took care of it!
