| 618515 | 2007-12-06 23:47:00 | I have an HP 3670 scanner. Luckily I don't use it very often. When I install it, it insists on putting an icon on my desktop labelled "Upload to Web" I can't get rid of this icon. It won't drag and drop in garbage. If I right click on it my computer just locks up. . The only way I have found to remove it is to pull the plug and then re-boot. Then go to add-remove programs and uninstall the scanner drivers and software. Anyone got any idea how I can get rid of the thing? |

| 618516 | 2007-12-07 01:17:00 | Usually when you first install it you have the option of a default or custom install, select custom and when it gets to a certain point you can tell it to only install the software you want - upload to web is one - deselect it. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 618517 | 2007-12-07 01:21:00 | Usually when you first install select custom Which is WHAT most people dont bother looking at. And wonder why all this crap is on the hdd ;) Actually, I did the same thing with the ATI drivers lol.. Wondered where this steam and the screensaver whatever it is came from. Until I clicked on custom :D |
