So, Larry, what would you recommend a person do to completely remove all
traces of the Book Port transfer software to start fresh?

Actually, in this case, they are both exactly the same, it is just much easier to get to Book Port's.

And before someone asks why you shouldn't use Add/Remove Programs if the application has its own uninstall routine, the answer is that the program, itself, knows far better than any other possible method just what needs to be done to completely uninstall all of its components.

Try removing the program from Add/Remove Programs instead of removing the program directly. The registry still thinks the program is there.

How does one completely, utterly remove the Bookport transfer software. It seems no matter what I remove - uninstalling the program, then removign the APH directory from program files, then removing the APH folder from documents and settings, then removing the APH folder from common files, when I reinstall, BP doesn't ask me to reboot as it first did when I installed the software, and it still remembers my options. I want to try a complete, total, utter uninstall and reinstall. What do I do to achieve this?
