StickyWindowshttp://rarepattern.com/taxonomy/term/329/atom/feed2008-08-20T19:41:48-05:00Stuck with StickyWindowshttp://rarepattern.com/nodes/2008/stuck-stickywindows2008-08-22T16:35:34-05:002008-08-22T16:35:34-05:00Laura ScottFollowing up on my previous post on trying to remove StickyWindows, it apparently did not work. Upon rebooting, the f***ing application was there again in the preferences panel.
I am really hating StickyWindows. What kind of application embeds itself permanently into your computer? Malware, spyware, rootkits... WTF!
Donelleschi, you have worn out your welcome.
Do not install StickyWindows unless you know for sure that you will never ever want to uninstall it, because you won't be able to.
When I have time, I'm going to do some deeper digging to remove this stinger from my computer. But I have work to do.
StickyWindows is an app I thought I would like, but after nabbing and grabbing windows and generally distracting me from my work, I decided to uninstall it....
...except that I couldn't. Searching through the Applications folder yielded nothing. Searching through Applications Support in the Library yielded nothing.
The app was there in the Preferences Pane, so what I did was find the file in the Preferences folder and delete that. I'm not sure if there are other pieces lurking around my hard drive still, but I found that experience supremely annoying.
