How to uninstall u3 software

Why can’t we just buy a USB key drive without any software on it? I bought a 2gb Cruzer last weekend because I wanted a 2gb thumb drive, not because I wanted the U3 software. If I’m going to put applications on it they’ll be from Portable Apps anyway. And that would work without the thumb drive taking up 2 drive letters, one of which shows up as a CD so you can’t delete from it.

But that would be ok if the U3 software didn’t lock up my desktop. Worked fine on my Vista notebook, but inserting the key drive on my XP desktop locked it up. And yes, I tried holding down Shift. Didn’t do any good.

Fortunately there’s uninstall software for U3. The downside is that uninstalling requires a reformat of your thumb drive so be sure to backup anything you’ve got on it first. The upside is my thumb drive works perfectly now in both of my machines.
