Clean Re-install Office XP

[Apog]

I remove and re-installed Office XP. Before re-install I deleted MS Office
folder. In the user profile folder (docs & settings) I also deleted the
Microsoft folders in Application Data and Local Settings folders then
rebooted. After re-installation I noticed that Outlook still has the same
option settings and personal folders. Word and Excel retained "recently used
files list".

How should I do my clean install to get rid of all these settings?

Apog,
Usually you uninstall Office from add/remove programs / reboot your system /
re-install Office.

Thats righ but if you do that you will note that Microsoft Office folder will
still be there and in your profile (as I indicated earlier) vestiges of
Office will remain.

Apog,
As a suggestion, you could look at this utility:

For a clean installation, as suggested, you would need to reinstall Office
on a fresh install of Windows
