Re: Uninstalled Office 97 but icons still appear on StartMenu

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

It may be easy but bear with me as I am not that familiar with XP SP2
or Office 97.

Check in Msconfig.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.
