in the registry, under hklm\software\solidworks\addins and hkcu\software\solidworks\addins, you will find keys for addins. delete the key for the uninstalled addin.
you may also want to delete keys for other (non-current) users on machine.
the hkcu will store addinsstartup keys not addins, and will do nothing if the key is removed the the hklm entry anyway, so all it means is that you have not removed the correct (or all) of the keys for the addin you are trying to remove, simple as that.
just double check the registry hklm\software\solidworks\addins and hkcu\software\solidworks\addins and go through each entry and read the descriptions.
i think so
i bet you guys will not believe it but i deleted the registry in
hklm\software\solidworks\addins
shutdown and restart the computer and the registry id still remains there

i forgot i had this lying around.
delete the reg key and restart solidworks only, not the computer. solidworks reads the registry every time it loads not once on startup.
if that works, restart the pc, and if it appears again you know you have a startup script running on the pc to restore the registry
