Clean Uninstall?

[Irish]

I have a new HP laptop for personal home use which came
with Works 7.0 and a 60-day trial verion of Office 2003
installed. Both of these programs are listed in the
Add/Remove Programs list in Win XP Home.

As I am going to install Office Basic 2003 later I want
to uninstall both Works 7.0 and the 60-day trial Office
2003. Can I be assured of a CLEAN uninstall when using
Add/Remove Programs or am I just going to open a huge can
of worms? Would uninstalling either of these applications
leave hooks to other programs in place, creating
problems? Does it make any difference which one I delete
first?

Thanks!

My experience is that Windows XP's software removal is
far superior to and much more reliable than Win 98's. I
have performed similar removals as wht you want to do and
the Removal worked just fine.

I second Ken's opinion. You should be able to clean
these out OK using XP's built-in utility. The order
in which you do it should not be of any importance.
