It is not so easy to uninstall it but you can easily disable the twomeaginn said:how do I get windows cardspace off my computer?
services "Windows Card Space" and "Smart Card" if you do not plan to use a
smart card at all. I have tried using TweakUI to remove the Control Panel
applet but it did not work as it is supposed to work; the applet still show
up in Control Panel anyway.

You can rename these 3 files (add .bak or .?) and it's gone, but you can
easily brig it back.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\icardagt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\infocardcpl.cpl
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication
Foundation\infocard.exe

I don't know why TweakUI is unable to hide the applet properly. I thought Iju.c said:You can rename these 3 files (add .bak or .?) and it's gone, but you can

had configured it to hide the CardSpace applet but it still appears in
Control Panel.

Works for me, both methods, that is TweakUI and renaming.
Hmmm . . .
Try adding the following, manually
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control
Panel\don't load
String Value: infocardcpl.cpl
Data: YES
Log Off or Restart

I tried doing that and I notice that the "speech.cpl" applet also is notju.c said:Works for me, both methods, that is TweakUI and renaming.

able to be hidden using TweakUI either.
Here is the key as I modified it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control
Panel\don't load]
"speech.cpl"="Yes"
"infocardcpl.cpl"="Yes" .
But even though I also have unchecked the boxes for them in TweakUI they
both still appear in the Control Panel. I think I give up.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

I found an acceptable workaround. I had been using the "Classic View" ofju.c said:Works for me, both methods, that is TweakUI and renaming.

Control Panel and I simply switched to "Category View". Now the Windows
Cardspace icon no longer appears in the Control Panel. I forgot to mention
that I was using "Classic View" in my earlier replies.
