Log on to metalink and look for deinstalling oracle.  There are papers with
detailed instructions for really cleaning up an Oracle installation.  The CD
uninstall doesn't really take care of everything.

HTH,

Subject: registry keys, WinNT, uninstalling 10g


I'm uninstalling 10g from Windows NT (workstation), and
although the instructions provided by Oracle in their
CD documentation are pretty good, there is one ambiguity
with reference to registry keys.

The documentation refers to a number of characteristic
strings in the registry ('oracle', 'orcl','ora', etc),
including 'ORADC'. Can anyone tell me if this includes
the following keys:

"_DORADC" and "_DORADCEvents",

Each appear a total of twice, in

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Interface

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/Interface

Should these keys be deleted too?

thanks very much,
