If you use the add/remove programs, it should uninstall properly.  (Add/Remove programs changes modes automatically).

However... and this is an important one.  If the application was *not* installed using change user /install by *someone else* and then you try to uninstall it, it will very likely fail because the directory structures don't match.  In that particular circumstance, the user account that installed it must be the one to uninstall it.  (You can hack around that part, it is a lot of work and very chancy at best.  

And all of this is based on the idea that the program had a relatively "standard" installer, otherwise it may just not be doable.
