Removing all trace of Office 2007

[Mike Halsey]

Hi,

I've got a bug in my Office 2007 Enterprise install that's a hangover from
my upgrade from the final beta. It's somewhere in the files/registry entries
that Office leaves behind when you uninstall it and it's stopping help from
getting online and stopping me from publishing calendars.

Please does someone know where I can find *ALL* the files, folders and
registry entries that Office 2007 leaves behind after uninstalling it so that
I can reinstall with a COMPLETELY clean slate?

Cheers guys

Should point out I'm running Vista Ultimate RTM with Vista installed on my C:
drive

Cheers for that, tried it as best I could but for some reason it didn't
delete the data that references what PST file I was using (did I do it wrong?)

I can only assume the problen stopping Office online help working and
stopping me sharing my calendar is located in the same place that stores the
details of what PST file I'm using. Upon reinstalling office from scratch I
was presented straight away with the PST file that's stored on my D: drive
when starting Outlook.

What did I do wrong / is there something else?

Cheers,

Mike

Those steps only remove Office 2007, not the actual Office settings. Go
into Control Panel, Mail and remove the PST files there.
