Application not removing itself from registered list when uninstalled

[alebl...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

When uninstalled, the application keeps showing as a registered application on the "open with" option, without a proper icon as the files are gone but the name imageglass and a generic executable icon are still there.

How can I remove it manually then?

Thanks

I have the same problem. TIA.

I'm assuming you're using Windows 10 and the ImageGlass 6.0.12.29. If either of those assumptions are incorrect, let me know.

First, you want to establish a different program as the "default image viewer", if you haven't already done so.  Ignore the fact that ImageGlass may still be listed as the default, and select something else, such as Photos.

Second, to stop ImageGlass from appearing in the available choices via "Open With \ Choose Another App", you need to use the Registry Editor (regedit). In Regedit, under "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", you will find in the tree a bunch of entries like "ImageGlass.AssocFile.3FR", "ImageGlass.AssocFile.ARI", etc.  One-by-one, you need to select an entry, right-click, select 'Delete', then click 'Yes' to the "Confirm Key Delete" dialog box.  Alas you cannot do it in bulk via Regedit; I suggest deleting only for those extensions which are important to you.

I have logged this as a bug in the ImageGlass repository, and try to create a .REG file to do this cleanup work "soon".
