do you want to uninstall steam?

control panel >> bottom left is 'uninstall a program'.

find steam in the list, and uninstall it.

done that an all the files that were left over, and even in the game window where the links are, but they are still in games

ok - try out this tutorial.

it's a bit complicated - i don't know why microsoft can't make it easier to delete a shortcut!

that wont work because it is not a microsoft game

i'm looking at a thread on "steal links in game library" it says something about a registry key, so i run CC cleaners registry cleaner but they are still there

oops. Stale Links

ok - you can very easily 'hide' the icon, but that's not the same as deleting it.


it's still a minor mystery to me why microsoft won't let us delete shortcuts...

but thats just it!! i can not even hide it ; THE LINK IS DEAD AT THE CLICK IT TURNS BLUE AS IF IT WAS ACTIVE BUT IT HAS NO MENU SO I CAN'T HIDE IT
