[re removing twain entries from PS's import menu on Windows XP, SP2.

First remove any remaining scanner software using Add/Remove Programs. I did a search and found this procedure to clean up any remaining TWAIN files. This may result in your having to re-install any currently active scanners:

How to completely remove TWAIN Driver from Windows XP.
Step 1. Uninstall the Scanner software.
a. Go to "Start," come up to "Settings," and click on "Control Panel." Then double click on "Add/Remove Programs" icon.
b. In "Add/Remove Programs," select "Your Scanner"
then click on the "Add/Remove" button at the bottom of the window. The computer should walk you through the un-installation process.

Step 2. Following the un-installation of the programs, delete the "twain" files and the "twunk" files. This is done because some of these files are not removed from the computer when the programs are uninstalled.
a. Go to "Start," come up to "Find or Search," and
click on "Files or Folders." Be sure the "look in" box is set to search the hard drive, or "C:" drive.
b. In the "named" box type "twain" (minus the quotes). Make sure the box to the left of "Include subfolders" is selected (has a check mark in it). If not, click on the box.
c. Click on the "Find Now" button.
d. Delete all of the "twain" files by going to "Edit" and clicking on "Select all," and then going to "File" and clicking on "Delete."
e. Go through the previous four steps again, but this
time type "twunk" (minus the quotes) in the "Named" box instead of typing "twain."
