Hi Wendy,
No, if all the installation/program files are in the user's profile
directory (not just the user's Office settings) then during the installation
someone must have altered the installation directory.
If you can't properly remove the files from his/her profile I suggest that
you recreate the profile for this user (it must be a pretty big profile then
;-)
Regards,
