Office 2003 not being removed

R

I have installed office 2003 with a GPO and a custom MST file. The only thing
in that MST is the it doesn't install Publisher.
I am uninstalling Office 2003 by disassociating the the computer object with
the GPO. I watch Office 2003 being removed. However office still shows up in
add and remove programs and if a user has a program shortcut on thier desktop
for one of the office 2003 products and they activate the shortcut, it
reinstalls that product.
1. How do I get office to be removed completely?
2. If there are pieces that are left, how do I get the shortcut to stop
reinstalling the product?

I am having the same problem. I had to reload Vista on my computer due to
other issues. I then installed Office for Students 2003 all was well until I
went to configure my emails and I unfortunately entered the incorrect
information so I could not get Office to open. I tried uninstalling and
reinstalling Office again but I get the same problem. All the other programs
in Office work except for Outlook. I tried repairing Office but that did not
work. i tried restoring to an earlier time but that date was not available
to me. I called Dell to help me but after 2 hours on the computer remotely I
gave up and had to go to bed. I called again yesterday and now they waived
the $49 fee but now will fix it for $129!! I told them I could fix it for
free if I started over and reinstalled Vista again and started from scratch.
Is that my only solution?
