How Today Plugin Uninstallation works

  • Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded (even when you deactive the particular plugin)
  • The uninstaller has to remove the related registry entries (the DLL is however still unloaded from the memory)
  • A Soft-reset may be required to finish the process (or) a particular Windows Message has to be posted to reload the today plugins which will release the DLL without requiring a Soft-reset.

Cleaning your Today Screen

  • As Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded, some times normal Uninstallation process may not uninstall the Today Plugin as the DLL is still in use
  • Use Today Plugin Uninstaller in such cases, where developer has to provided a successful uninstallation script.
