Chrome - disable or remove plugins (Orbit downloader for example)

Hi all,
it happened to me to notice that after uninstalling Orbit downloader, google Chrome still tried to use Orbit to download files, obviously without success.

So there are 2 things you can do now:
1. disable the plugin
2. delete the plugin

The instructions are for Orbit, but the same is valid for every plugin.

== DISABLE PLUGINS ==


in the address bar write:

chrome://plugins


search for Orbit downloader and click on "Disable"

== DELETE PLUGINS ==


FIRST close Chrome!

from the start menu execute:

%localappdata%


to go in the local application data folder
(something like: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local)

then go to the subfolder

Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins


search for the plugin's .dll file  (in this case, for Orbit it's "nporbit.dll") and delete it.
Open Chrome, the plugin disappeared

bye
Digger
