OFF95: Windows Registry Entries Remain After Remove All

CAUSE

The Setup program leaves some of the Office registry entries intact by design. The Setup program removes the values for these keys but does not remove many of the registry keys. These keys do not interfere with subsequent installations of Microsoft Office but may increase the size of the registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
