Uninstalling SideWinder
Use the uninstaller shipped with the SideWinder to completely remove all the associated files from your computer. You can find the uninstaller inside the "Start Menu>All Programs>SWiJ SideWinder>Uninstall SWiJ SideWinder". Be cautious since this process will also remove all the Settings and Category Files you have created through the SideWinder. It is advised to create a backup of the files present in your "{My Documents}\SideWinder\" folder before doing an uninstall.
