  By the looks of it, this is a Workplace Shell extension.  If so, it is
  Workplace Shell itself that is using the DLL.
  Most programs that provide WPS extension DLLs provide a short CMD file
  to remove the extension if you need to remove the product.  If Describe
  does not have such a CMD file (and I would be very surprised if it does
  not) it is not hard to whip up a three line script that calls
  SysDeregisterObjectClass to deregister the DLL from WPS.
  The on-line REXX reference in your Information folder tells you all that
  you need to know.
