How to get rid of the "Share-to-Web Upload Folder"
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
If you have a Hewlett Packard ScanJet you probably have been annoyed by this stupid HP Share-to-Web Upload Folder that has been settled in your Desktop. There seems to be no obvious way to remove it or delete it, and if you try to right-click on it the Windows Explorer hangs and you have to restart it.
Here is what you have to do to send it from where it came:
Go to Start → Settings → Control Panel → Add or Remove Programs. After the list is populated find and highlight the program named HP Photo and Imaging. Then push the Change button. The InstallShield Wizard will show up. Click Next and then select Repair. Click Next again. In the next step make sure that you DON'T check the Add a Shortcut to the Desktop checkbox. Finally click Install. By the end of the procedure you should see the evil icon missing from your Desktop.
