Re: Tool to rejuvenate registry in Win 7

David,

You THINK it's uninstalling everything but it's AMAZING all it leaves
behind sometimes.

I just ran into that with MS Office and Outlook. I needed to load the
Contacts for a user into Outlook (Exchange) so they could access them
via OWA. So I loaded MS Office on an "extra" PC that had not had it
installed previously. Created the account. Imported the Contacts. But
there was an issue with the Contacts. So I tried reimporting them but it
dimmed out Map fields option (i.e. I'm NOT going to let you wipe out the
current Contacts - normally a good thing).

So I took the Uninstall option and rebooted and started over again with
the MS Office install. When I fired up Outlook it remembered the account
info - no good for what I was trying to do.

I started scanning the registry for references to Outlook and Office and
there were TONS of hits. What a mess...

Chuck
