removing ALL of previous versions of office

[lindalou]

I have discovered that even though I removed Office 2000 from my computer
using add/remove programs, there are still files left from Office 2000 (I am
now using 2007). The files are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office. The Office 2007 components are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12. I'm sure there must be files in the registry, too.

I thought add/remove programs was supposed to remove everything.
How do I remove these files?

Also, I would like to know whether I can completely remove programs I don't
want on my computer that were installed by Hewlett-Packard if they do not
appear in add/remove programs? These are programs that will connect you to
aol, netscape, ebay, etc. Can I just remove the program file containing them?
I think not, but if not, is there another way to get rid of them.

Thanks.

See

.. Although the article addresses Office 2003, it should also apply to
Office XP with Windows Vista.

Oops... sorry, please disregard my reply... it was intended for the
question before yours.

I believe you will find that Office, any version, also installs
files/folders to that location.

You will probably find these are shortcuts or files on your desktop (aol
etc) you can delete these & any underlying folder, but do check there is no
uninstall file in the underlying folder.
