Outlook 2003 Does Not Uninstall
Hello,
I am trying to uninstall Outlook 2003 from an XP machine which is part of an SBS 2003 domain. I am trying to unistall it from the Add and Remove Programs section in the Control Panel. I select Outlook, then the option to Change, then Uninstall.
I goes thru its process and it takes Outlook out of the list of installed programs.
I then reboot the PC. When I log back in to the PC, Outlook appears in Add and Remove Programs list and there is an icon for it in the windows start menu. If I click on the icon, it sets up Outlook again.
This is very frustrating

n2fc,
I did as you instructed and it did not work. Outlook 2003 showed up again in Add and Remove Programs list and Start Menu.

sushil84,
I went to the link you suggested, and found this:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-blahbl
In this folder there is a folder called OUTLOOK and inside it are various profiles saved by the system and not removed by uninstalling OFFICE or using a registry cleaner like Revo
It appears that this problem arises as a result of using IMAP to get to the mail server. Although I don't know what I did to break things, this solution was discovered by one of many people who tried Outlook 2007 and then tried to return to Outlook 2003 and could not. .
There were no profiles listed in this folder. All that was listed in this folder was (Default) no value set. We do not use IMAP.

I noticed something that may help solve this, in the Add and Remove Programs section, Outlook appears listed with a number 2 within parantheses at the end of its name, as such:
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (2)
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (2)
