Uninstall Mendeley completely

[restlessHK]

Dear Folks,

I have accidentally installed Mendeley, which turned out to be a big
mistake. I uninstalled it several times after closing all other
programs, but now it still appears as "Add-Ins" in office 2007
(including word, excel, etc). It also interferes with Endnote x2. This
is a huge problem for me now and please help.

If you're looking to remove the Mendeley Word plugin, we do advise tha
you do this via Mendeley Desktop by going to Tools > Uninstall MS Wor
Plugin. If you have however since removed Mendeley Desktop, you ca
remove this plugin by hand.

First of all you'll want to locate where Word is storing this plugin o
your machine.

On MS Word 2007:

* Open up Word and click on the main menu in the top left, and the
select "Word Options" towards the bottom of this menu.
* From here select "Add-Ins" on the left, and locate th
"Mendeley-0.0.0.dot" entry. The 0.0.0 number will reflect the respectiv
version you have installed. Next to it you will see the directory i
which it is located.

Now, open up a Windows Exporer window and navigate to th
aforementioned folder. Ensuring that Word is closed completely, you ca
now delete the Mendeley .dot file.

Upon reopening Word, you'll find the plugin is no longer loaded

I have been working for Mendeley for my thesis, for just about a wee
now. The initial couple of days it worked fine with Google Scholar
properly importing all the marked refences into the Mendeley deskto
library.

But recently it does not work... i get the message

Sorry - import failed!

It still works fine with Pub Med and cite u like, but not with Googl
Scholar.
