The Scan Snap Scanner driver adds a folder named ScanSnap Folder to the Devices and drives section on your computer.
As i didn’t want this folder to clutter my interface, i wanted to remove it.
Here is how to do this:
Simply open Regedit and and delete the Folder named:
{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
The full path of both places would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
To do this the easy way, just put this into a admin command prompt:
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{591C1901-C0DA-4776-8450-F9806F6E9687}
This should work instantly… if it isn’t working, then simply use regsvr32 in a admin command prompt and type:
regsvr32 -u “C:\Program Files\pfu\scansnap\SSFolder\SSFolder.dll”
