Is there a registry cleaning tool for Office 2007 Professional?

I know for versions 2000 and 2003 there were registry clean-up tools so that
Office would be completely uninstalled (with no hanging references which
might interfere with an installation with another or earlier version). Is
there something similar for Office 2007?

Not specifically for Office 2007.

Tell us why you are interested in such a tool and perhaps someone has a less drastic solution to your problem.

Hello Ms. Staples, we weren't sure of Office 2007 was installed on a
particular workstation and then been uninstalled. If it had been the case,
it may have been affecting another application as a result. We've since
ruled out the possible installation/uninstallation. Another application
(unrelated to the one having troubles) placed a template in the Startup
folder of Office12 (without checking to see if there was an install of
Office12. It simply created a folder. I was able to verify this by taking a
look at another machine on which I was sure there was no installation of
Office 2007 which also had the other application installed on it as well but
is not having any issues with the application in which we are having
troubles. Is this as clear as mud?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually, I understood every word of this post - scary, no?

You can use the Windows Installer Clean-up Utility to get rid of any errant Office 12 files and then do a manual view to see if all the shared folders, etc. have been removed.
