Question: I'd like to remove the tile shown below, without uninstalling the program. It doesn't seem like it is an actual folder that can be removed - maybe it is a registry key?

Answer: 
The ScanSnap folder can be removed by unregistering its `.dll` file. No log off/restart required.

1. Open an command prompt with administrator rights.
2. Type the following command and press `Enter`:

`regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\PFU\ScanSnap\SSFolder\SSFolder.dll"`

Upon unregistering, the following keys will be deleted:

```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\SSFolder.DLL
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{3DB87E3A-2490-49DA-BA7C-5931849992CE}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{D1B23810-58C6-4B22-A01B-AF521433D434}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SSFolder.ShellFolderImpl
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SSFolder.ShellFolderImpl.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{8D4FB007-2F3F-4C51-BD10-D39D5445C59B}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}

```
On a Windows 10 (64-bit) host, open a command prompt with administrator rights and then invoke this command line:

```
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files (x86)\PFU\ScanSnap\SSFolder\x64\SSFolder.DLL"

```
