170666 - windows registry settings preserved

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 125877

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

I am trying to figure out whether you hate sifting through too many bug reports
more or less than I hate sifting through the bug searching system ...

the bug: the registry settings in windows seem to be preserved during
install/uninstall.  thus, when i try to get themes, i am sent to the 1.0 themes
pages.  book%20marks%20look%20like%20this%when%they%20are%20left%20over%20from%20
 old%20imported%ie%ones. my netscape screen name wont go away, and if i try to
start not as me it simply doesn't start.  this has been the case in 0.99, 1.0,
and now 1.1. thus, new versions behave very much like old versions (which is to
say badly), which is not the case on other computers where i never installed before.

oh, this page (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;Q186429) won't render
correctly, but you probably know that already.

I think it's a dupe of bug 125877
