Hi vulcanised, I am indeed using XP and up until now I appeared to have got rid of OE effectively but there's often that fly in the ointment....
Hi again, Saab Dastard. I only keep an absolutely skeletal copy of IE on one account because there are some things which need it because to do those things with FF requires jumping through too many hoops and other things which I don't like. If that were not so then I'd break my neck in the rush to uninstall that too.
If the official add/remove programmes didn't get rid of that last little bit of OE then why would I expect it to do a better job next time, once I had reinstalled OE for a couple of minutes? Perhaps I don't understand you correctly. My experience of Revo Uninstaller is that it works a treat and appears to leave no trace. I understand that it uses totally different uninstalling tools from Control Panel and CrapCleaner.
