CAUSE
The Setup program leaves some of the Office registry entries intact by
design. The Setup program removes the values for these keys but does not
remove many of the registry keys. These keys do not interfere with
subsequent installations of Microsoft Office but may increase the size of
the registry.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. 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" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
