Remarks
This function removes the common Winsock configuration information for the specified provider. After this routine completes successfully, the configuration information stored in the registry will be changed. However, any ws2.dll instances currently in memory will not be able to see this change.
The caller of this function must remove any additional files or service provider–specific configuration information that is needed to completely de-install the service provider.
