An anonymous reader writes "InformationWeek is reporting that Yahoo! has released a new version of Konfabulator, now rechristened 'Yahoo Widget Engine'. From the article: 'Widgets are useful to portals because they can draw users to their services directly from the desktop, without first having to launch a browser. By providing a more direct route, portals are trying to increase the use of their services, which are tied to online advertising. Yahoo rival search engine Google Inc. also offers widgets.'"

How do you uninstall it? by stankulp · 2005-12-12 14:55 · Score: 5, Interesting

I hate it and can't get it to go away.

There is no "uninstall" in the program group, and it does not show up in Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.

I just want it to go away.
