    Uninstalling [four methods, use the one best suited to your situation]

  - Right click the taskbar then click "Properties" or search for "ExplorerPatcher", and go to "Uninstall" section or

  - Use "Programs and Features" in Control Panel, or "Apps and features" in the Settings app or

  - Run ep_setup.exe /uninstall or

  - Rename ep_setup.exe to ep_uninstall.exe and run that.   <===

If the Task Manager is working, then you could run it via the rename idea (the fourth item).
Use the Run box on the Task Manager to run ep_uninstall.exe

Programs can check the zeroth argument on ARGV/ARGC on a program,
to figure out what "role" you want the program to play. I wrote a
program that works that way. The program changes what it does,
based on the name you give the executable.

Using the option that does not need a parameter passed to it,
is the best option (more ways to launch it). That's the 10MB original file.
