The 'Novell client for Netware networks' is a network client and is
un-installed through the network settings just like the 'Microsoft
client for Microsoft networks' rather than through 'Add/Remove
Programs'.  To uninstall it, get to your 'Network Settings' control
panel, then find your Netware client in the list of installed clients,
and click 'Remove'.  

You may want to make sure that the authentication method selected is the
one you wanted before you close the network settings too.  If the
Netware client was the selected method before you removed it, the method
that Windows selects next might not be the one you wanted it to be.  You
might have to boot into safe mode to select the right auth method if you
don't check, but if you do, it can save you a little time later.

Subject: [TCLUG] OT: Removing Novell from system

 
I am working with a customer on upgrading a few PCs.  One of the systems
has Novell on it still (Win98 SE).  They are not using Novell, but it is
still there ... they are using Microsoft networking with a Win2000
Server.
 
My question ... how do I remove / uninstall Novell from the system.  I
have looked in Win.ini, System.ini, Config.sys, autoexec.bat,
startup.ini and I can not find a thing that gives me a clue how Novell
gets started.  I have NOT worked with Novell before .. so maybe this is
a simple task .. but ... I did not stumble onto it right away.
 
I have looked for "uninstall" icons - none, looked in the add/remove
programs - nothing.  I changed the name of the Novell directory and it
crashed while booting because it could not find the files needed ... so
I need a clean way to find whatever starts Novell ... before I go and
delete the files.
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions ... I thought someone out there
that does a lot of networking my have some Novell experience.
 
Randy
