Remove "My Digital Camera" From My Computer
« on: October 27, 2009, 05:35:42 AM »
I installed an old Photo editing software and with it came some crap called "My Digital Camera" which is in My Computer, under Other/Miscellaneous

I found a guide which sort-of worked, I still got the crap and it works as it always do, but the label "My Digital Camera" is gone (The guide told me to remove a CPL file from sytem32 folder)

It isn't listed in device manager or under Installed Programs..

I searched through the registery, for "My Digital Camera" and removed the entries, nothing happend

Also, the uninstaller for this software doesn't remove the crap either

Reason why I dont want it:

The tool is; not working with my camera, is ugly, slow and so on
And my camera can connected to any Windows (95 or higher) computer without that tool, like any storage device
_____________________

Now, how do I remove it?


Edit:
Tweak UI can't hide it (This is just a work-around, but it fixes the issue)

In Device Manager, have you tried checking "Show hidden devices" in the "View" menu?

        I also saw on another site this same procedure performed with a Photo Adobe Deluxe disc so you may need to just go with whatever software disc you own and suspect installed this program.
