     7== Introduction ==
     8
     9This document describes how to cleanup a machine so that it'll appear to be a clean machine to future 6.x client installs.
     10
     11This document assumues that you were able to successfully uninstall BOINC via the add/remove control panel applet.
     12
     13In addition to the information stored via normal MSI operations the BOINC installer makes the following additional changes depending on the options selected during install:
     14 * Creates two additional user accounts
     15 * Creates three local user groups
     16 * Assigns user rights to newly created users
     17 * Stores setup information to the registry
     18 * Migrates existing data from the installation directory to the data directory
     19
     20== Cleanup Users and Groups ==
     21
     22To cleanup the newly created users and groups do the following:
     23 * Click on the 'Start' button.
     24 * Right-click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'.
     25 * Expand the 'Local Users and Groups' tree node.
     26 * Click on the Groups tree node.
     27 * Delete the 'boinc_admins' group.
