filters filters everywhere!

[ivan_alias]

I have installed and removed so many codecs and directshow filters over the years my system is becomming a mess.

Is there any easy to use tools that will list all the filters and codecs I have installed on my system and let me remove the ones I want with ease?

Anything like this out there?

[Arky]

yes there is - I have it but have never bothered using it. It's called erm...

I'll edit this post when I remember the name (arghh!!!).

Short answer - "yes, there IS!"


Arky ;o)...I think it;s called something like "gejsrv32...."

I appreciate your humor, but I genuinely would like a tool that can list and remove the installed filters.

I don't think you can do that with regsvr32 unless I'm mistaken.

You can try GSpot to list installed codec :

There is no direct easy uninstall function but at least it will give you the associated .dll or .ax so you can try a regsvr32 /u

have a look into your windows device manager... ;)

Could try SysEnum which comes with Graphedit... Doesn't have a feature to uninstall them though.

Yes there is one... Can't remember the name :p
Let's try to google a bit...

Gej's super register tool does the trick, right click an .ax .dll and you'll get a choise to register or un-register. Great tool from the patcher of the WMA MPEG-4 Codec (Divx;)...

Save the following as RegShExt.inf and Install it.
