Removing the dregs of PowerPlugs Transitions

[Walter Donavan]

Win 2K Pro (SP4 + patches) and PPT02 (Office XP SP2), both up to date.

After uninstalling the free PowerPlugs 3D Transitions from Geetesh's PPT
ezine, I had the following problems.

I. Only one of the two programs was removed from the Add/Remove Programs
Applet window. It took extensive registry slash-and-burn to get rid of the
other
one. The installer does not clean up after itself.

II. In PPT02 the (1) Transitions Toolbar remained, as did the Slide Show
menu items: (2) "View Show with 3D" and (3) "Add 3D Transition". I couldn't
swat them. Does anybody know how to get rid of them?

Thanks in advance.

Steve,

Many thanks! I tried your method, which I am sure works, but lost my Slide
Show menu due to pilot error and couldn't get it back.

I got everything working again, though. If I had stopped to think it
through, there were two other ways of putting things back the way they were:

1. Office Detect and Repair, using the restore default settings checkbox.

2. Restoring the Office settings using the Save My Settings wizard. Since I
save my settings every day or two, and have been for years, I chose this
method and it worked fine.

All is copasetic.

Thanks again.
