WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

To remove a Run From CD installation of Microsoft Office 97 from your computer, use the following steps:

 On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.  Double-click Add/Remove Programs. In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Office 97, and then click Add/Remove. If a dialog box appears and notifies you that programs are running, quit the programs, and then click OK. NOTE: If Microsoft Office 97 does not appear on the Add/Remove Programs list, proceed to step 5 below.  In the Microsoft Office 97 Setup dialog box, click Remove All.  When you are prompted to remove shared components, click Remove All. If you are prompted to restart the computer after Setup is finished, restart the computer.   In Windows Explorer, delete the following folders: Program Files\Microsoft Office Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared Program Files\Common Files\ODBC Temp\Vbe NOTE: Other software programs may use the Microsoft Shared and ODBC folders that Microsoft Office 97 creates. Deleting these folders may cause other programs that use the folders to fail to function properly. When this occurs, reinstall the programs.   In Windows Explorer, delete the following files in the following folders: Windows Folder -- artgalry.cag exchng.ini extend.dat microsoft outlook.fav mso97.acl twunk_16.exe twunk_32.exe .acl .pcb NOTE: The is the name of the user who is logged on to the computer.

rec2f1.mdb  On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and click OK.  Select each of the following keys individually in the registry. With the folder selected, click Delete on the Edit menu. When you are prompted whether to delete the key, click Yes. Repeat the process for each of the following registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Mso97.dll HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\ {2DF8D04C-5BFA-101B-BDE5-00AA0044DE52} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MOS\Mail\SendNote HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MOS\Mail\Inbox HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\AutoCorrect\8.0 HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0 </li>  Select the following key in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools and then select and delete each value that refers to the CD-ROM drive letter. </li>  Select the following key in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs and then select and delete each value that refers to the CD-ROM drive letter and the Office or OS folders. For example, if your CD-ROM drive letter was D:, you would want to delete any value that refers to D:\Office or D:\OS. </li></ol>

After you complete these steps, it may be necessary to reinstall any earlier versions of Microsoft Office programs, or programs that use the shared components that Microsoft Office 97 uses. For example, if you want to use any of the Microsoft Office 7.0 programs, it may be necessary to reinstall Microsoft Office 7.0 before the programs work correctly.
