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

[pstein]

When I uninstall a (meanwhile outdated) v 4.03 everything seems to be fine at the first glance.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