  • How to really complete un-install ? "sptd" still alive

    When I uninstall a (meanwhile outdated) v 4.03 everything seems to be fine at the first glance.

    Later I detected that there are still some part alive.

    Like an sptd entry in Registry

    HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001/services/sptd/Cfg

    Occasionally this sptd service appears as well in the TaskManager.

    As I found out the origin was the DaemonTools installation.

    How can I completely get rid of these fragments ?
    What is the service name behind sptd.sys?

    Open registry editor (run regedit) and browse to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\sptd
    Change the value "Start" (DWORD) to 4 (i.e. disabled).
    [To re-enable SPTD service change the "Start" value back to 0.]
    If you want to delete sptd key in registry reboot, after reboot enable all permissions of sptd\cfg key, then delete entire sptd key.

      You could also download the stand-alone SPTD installer and uninstall SPTD with that. That is (in my opinion) the simplest approach.
