Today Plugin Uninstaller - FREEWARE POCKETPC


The Today Plugin Uninstaller utility helps to remove the unwanted Today Plugins from your Pocket PC Today Screen.

How Today Plugin Uninstallation works

* Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded (even when you deactive the particular plugin)
* The uninstaller has to remove the related registry entries (the DLL is however still unloaded from the memory)
* A Soft-reset may be required to finish the process (or) a particular Windows Message has to be posted to reload the today plugins which will release the DLL without requiring a Soft-reset.

Cleaning your Today Screen

* As Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded, some times normal Uninstallation process may not uninstall the Today Plugin as the DLL is still in use
* Use Today Plugin Uninstaller in such cases, where developer has to provided a successful uninstallation script.

Useful for Today Plugin Developers

* During Today Plugin Development developer every time a change is made to the Plugin, Developer has to manually
1. Unregister the DLL
2. Change/Delete the registry Path
3. Soft-reset the Device in order to completely unload the DLL from the memory
4. Install the new DLL after soft-reset.
* Use Today Plugin Uninstaller during Today Plugin Development, where you don’t have to soft-reset everytime.
