It's very easy to uninstall CF entirely. 1. Run the Web Server Configuration Tool to delete any connections between CF and your web server. 2. Delete the service entries in the registry under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services 3. There may be a CF key under HKLM\Software - it will either be named Allaire or Macromedia. It's not really essential to delete this if you don't want to, but you can. 4. Delete or rename the CF directory. That said, you may not need to do this. When you install an updater, it creates a backup directory within the CF directory, and you may be able to just pull the files out of that and put them back over the updated files.
