SYMPTOMS
If you run the Microsoft Office 2000 Setup program in maintenance mode and
click
Remove Office, the Setup program does not remove a number of folders, shortcuts to files, and .tmp files located in the following folder:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Shortcut Bar
: The name and location of your Windows folder may be different depending on what you chose when you installed Microsoft Windows.
CAUSE
These folders, shortcuts, and .tmp files are all temporary files or folders that are created by the Microsoft Office 2000 Shortcut Bar. The Setup program does not remove the files because they were not installed by Office Setup. When you use the Remove Office option in the Office Setup program, the only files that are removed are those originally installed with Office.
RESOLUTION
After you remove Office, you can safely delete the folders and shortcut files in the Shortcut Bar folder.
