How do I uninstall this?

[DMJelly]

Sorry for the newbie question, but I have been informed that soon or later Windows will reintroduce the official Drag and Drop function. How will I uninstall the scrip once the official one will be out?

Thank you in advance.

It's a good question actually.

All you will need to do is quit the program, and then delete (or rename) the .exe file.

It's not required, but you can also remove the Autostart key from the system registry.

As described here: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix/blob/main/CONFIGURATION.md#should-the-program-run-automatically-on-system-startup

Edit file Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFixConfig.txt and change to:

AutomaticallyRunThisProgramOnStartup=0

Then restart the program (so it will remove the autostart key automatically), then quit it again, and delete or rename the .exe file: Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix.exe or Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix_Static.exe.

If you've already removed the .exe file before disabling autostart, you can simply remove this registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix

This program is very portable, so it doesn't change any extra things in the operating system, therefore removing is as simple as deleting the file.

You can kill the process with the following command: taskkill /f /im Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix.exe

You can kill the process with the following command: taskkill /f /im Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix.exe

There's a tray icon with the quit button in newer versions.

@HerMajestyDrMona Right!

I added the .reg file that allows users to remove the Autostart key in case it's left: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix/commit/3e407556858272a3a0f72fa025bd9186d8d906c9.

This .reg file removes HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix entry from the system registry. It's only useful if you deleted Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix without disabling Autostart in the config file first. Use it when you want to remove the Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix entry from Windows 11 Settings -> Apps -> Startup.

You can download it here: https://downgit.github.io/#/home?url=https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix/blob/main/Remove_Autostart_RegKey_Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix.reg

After that open the .zip file, and open file: Remove_Autostart_RegKey_Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix.reg.
