First of all you should delete you registry entries and application files which is normal.
What is ultra bad is to delete the folder if there is any preferences. If you need to reinstall
you will have teh same problem as with runrev resetting all your prefs again... Very bad...
Agreed. What I've done instead is use the Application Settings folder, which is hidden from users be default. Thanks to the handy tips at SonsOThunder.com I was able to find the constant that Win98 through XP uses to return the path to that folder:
specialFolderPath(26)
So now I don't touch anything in the user's My Documents folder, only Application Settings.
I think I'll cover storing prefs in my next revJournal article. There's far more to it than it would seem at first glance.
One of this byproducts of this odyssey is a bit of a disappointment in Apple: it's a rare day when Micro$oft offers a clear usability advantage of Apple, yet Micro$oft has a stronger position on an app cleaning up after itself than Apple's "toss the app in the Trash and let the user figure out what to do with the prefs file" approach.
