firstly, this kind of question is better suited to
microsoft.public.smartphone.developer.
what i do:
i wrote a setup.dll (there is an example in the SDK). in the uninstall
routine, it kills home.exe, then changes the homescreen scheme to a
microsoft default. then it loops trying to delete the plugin. once its
done that, it reloads home.exe, and creates an empty file using the
plugin name*
* the last step is because the uninstaller like to delete files, if it
can't (because the file isn't there) it assumes the file is locked, and
wants to reboot the phone.
