If you type in "uninstall JAWS" in the knowledge base search form, you get an interesting article back which includes the following: MICROSOFT FILES: When uninstalling JAWS 4.51 and later, the following two files will not be removed from the Windows\System32 folder: Dcmuser.dll and Dcmkrnl.dll. Though other vendors may remove these files, JAWS versions 4.51 and later do not remove them. These files are vendor-independent Microsoft files used by Freedom Scientific and other vendors. Microsoft allows these files to be redistributed and they are considered a part of the operating system, like DirectX. Note that the JAWS uninstall behavior described above is the same whether you choose to uninstall JAWS by using the Microsoft Add/Remove Programs utility or the Uninstall JAWS option in the JAWS program group.
