Need help uninstalling WindowBlinds

Ok, this is annoying as hell. After trying out WindowBlinds I was going to look at a few other apps of the same sort and shop around before I shell out my hard earned. So I go Control Panel to uninstall WB b4 installing other stuff - and guess what? RIGHT! No "WindowBlinds" in the Control Panel to be found.
My first step was to consult the Help Text in WB, which says:
"Simply use the Uninstall icon in the WindowBlinds folder or Add/Remove Programs (in your Control Panel) to uninstall WindowBlinds."
Well, obviously that was a no go, so I read on:
"If you have configured WindowBlinds to start from the registry, please disable this option prior to uninstalling."
Another no go - I have not configured WB to "start from the registry". I don't even know how to configure WB to "start from the registry" - whatever that means.
Sure, I have some vague idea what the registry is, but I have no clue whatsoever how on earth to get this thing uninstalled now???
Am I the only non Ueber Geek here with this problem? I havent found much in the way of answers in this forum so far, but I did see that you guys need this info here:
