If it's not in the Add/Remove Programs section of the Windows Control Panel, then you need to remove it manually.

First you need to exit all running Winstep applications. Once that is done, easiest way is to delete the C:\Program Files\Winstep\ folder and all it's contents (C:\Program Files (x86)\Winstep\ if you are running a 64 bit system).

Errrrr, in the page to buy it there is an Exit button at the bottom. :P

Alternatively, you can open the Windows Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and kill nextstart.exe and workshelf.exe.

Hi, why would you remove such a wonderful gift??? Did you try it before removing it? I know everyone has their preferences, but in my opinion this is one time I feel I ought to interject my opinion because you're getting it for free!

By any chance do you know what Winstep product it is? I sure hope it isn't Xtreme, because if it is, you would really be looking a gift horse in the mouth.
