SQL Server 2005 presence - unwanted

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Vista Ultimate with SP1
Office 2003 Professional, with SP3

SQL Server 2005 is installed. I don't know how I installed it.

How do I uninstall SQL Server 2005? Do I use Add / Remove Programs? If so,
with which item do I start?

I tried to uninstall it using the Office 2003 CD, but there was no option to
uninstall / remove SQL Server 2005.

Entries from add / remove:
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix KB929729
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact ...
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MICROSOFTS...)
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer


Thanks for your help.
