majic jelly bean data and uninstalled software

[Richard in AZ]

I once had Office for Student and Home 2007 installed.
Did not want it on this machine and uninstalled it. (I use this computer to teach a class in Word
2003)
However, the magicjellybean software still finds the key code for the Office 2007 program.
Where is this stored and how do I remove it?
I have scanned the registry for all the words in the program title and found nothing I could
identify with it.

This utility will not find or delete the registry key but it does allow you
to change the product key code to something meaningless if security is you
concern.

As long as you still have a copy of the valid product key code, this should
do the trick.

Also - look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER (just to be thorough)...

Thanks to JS and Shenan, I exported the Office 2007 (Office 12) registry key and then deleted it.
Now majicjellybean software does not show the key for Office 2007.
I still have the Office 2007 software with keycode package if I want to re-install it.
(I do have it installed on my Office computer, with Vista, but not on the laptop which I use to
teach Word 2003 at the computer club.)
