This is unsupported, but you can reboot your home server, then without starting the Console:
- Log on to your home server using physical console or Remote Desktop,
- Find the DLL for the add-in you want to delete on your server in C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server,
- Delete the DLL,
- Start regedit,
- Navigate to the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Home Server\RegisteredAdditions,
- Find the key for the add-in and delete it.

I dont see DLL's for any of my add inst aside from ToDesktop in that directory... I'm using the console app from the tasktry and using toDestop to get to my desktop....

Please log on to your home server using the physical console or Remote Desktop, as I instructed previously. The DLLs for all installed add-ins are in the folder I mentioned; they will all have names like HomeServerConsoleTab.People.dll. (Note: that add-in is a system add-in, please don't remove it.) If there is no DLL for an add-in in that folder, there should also not be a tab for that add-in in the console.

Its not ust tabs in the console... more so options in the list when you are in settings...

Whether an add-in provides additional console tabs, or just a settings page, it should still appear in the list of known add-ins in the registry, and should still have a DLL in the location I specified previously. Are you saying that you have an add-in that does neither? What add-in?
