Simple, I just goto Programs and Features () and uninstall the extension. However, after opening Programs and Features, the extension wasn't shown. Now, uninstalling the extension had come to be a problem. Not a big problem, but it took time to figure out.
After searching MSDN, I found a site explaining a similar problem to mine:
After solving my problem, I thought this can be applied toward any situation where I needed to uninstall an installed program, which the installed program wasn't shown under the Programs and Features list.
I needed to download a little niffty program. This niffty program lists all programs installed on the machine:
Listing all installed programs and porting to a text file type:
c:\msiinv\msiinv.exe -p > c:\msiinv\msiinv_output.txt
The wealth of information will assist in removing any desired program that is needed to be uninstalled.

This post is for the purpose of my notes only.
“I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready and then it is inevitable. To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.”
