    i noticed there is no uninstall option in the control panel to remove this software from my new F Series. I really do not want the vaio gate option in any of my right click menus, so how can I uninstall the software or at the minimum - remove it from my right click menus?

    After having used objectdock and other similar docking software, I have no desire to use vaio gate.

    VAIO Gate should be able to be uninstalled. In the even that it cannot, download Microsoft Autoruns. This is like msconfig on steroids.

    You'll be able to uncheck all instances of VAIO gate. This will be able to keep it from launching at startup, and keep its shell extensions from running.
