Full 100% Uninstall Office XP

[Hughes]

Is there a way to FULLY remove previous versions of Office? Some special .exe
on downloads.microsoft.com perhaps...

As a consultant, I install Office 2003 a lot. I would prefer, for Outlook's
sake, that older versions, specifically XP, be uninstalled first with ALL
registry entries and ALL hard drive folders/files be COMPLETELY removed.

When I do a basic Uninstall via Add/Remove Control Panel, some residue is
left on the computer as evidenced today when Outlook 2003 automatically used
the old email account config even though I removed the outlook.pst file from
the default location, which it complained about and then automatically
created a 2002 version of the .pst which I was trying to avoid. I've not know
the .pst to house account/password info, so it must have been stored
elsewhere.

Microsoft provide some powerful support tools on the XP Pro CD
msicuu.exe and msizap.exe will remove anything and EVERYTHING from
your hard drive.
Do a search on MS for instructions, I would suggest msicuu.exe as its
a little more user friendly than 'msizap' which does pritty much as
it's name suggests.
Do a system backup first - just in case.
