+
+== Introduction ==
+
+This document describes how to cleanup a machine so that it'll appear to be a clean machine to future 6.x client installs.
+
+This document assumues that you were able to successfully uninstall BOINC via the add/remove control panel applet.
+
+In addition to the information stored via normal MSI operations the BOINC installer makes the following additional changes depending on the options selected during install:
+ * Creates two additional user accounts
+ * Creates three local user groups
+ * Assigns user rights to newly created users
+ * Stores setup information to the registry
+ * Migrates existing data from the installation directory to the data directory
+
+== Cleanup Users and Groups ==
+
+To cleanup the newly created users and groups do the following:
+ * Click on the 'Start' button.
+ * Right-click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'.
+ * Expand the 'Local Users and Groups' tree node.
+ * Click on the Groups tree node.
+ * Delete the 'boinc_admins' group.
+ * Delete the 'boinc_users' group.
+ * Delete the 'boinc_projects' group.
+ * Click on the Users tree node.
+ * Delete the 'boinc_master' user account.
+ * Delete the 'boinc_project' user account.
+
+== Cleanup User Rights Assignments ==
+
+To cleanup the newly assigned user rights do the following:
+ * Click on the 'Start' button.
+ * Click on 'Control Panel'.
+ * Launch the 'Administrative Tools' control panel applet.
+ * Launch the 'Local Security Policy' application.
+ * Expand the 'Local Policies' tree node.
+ * Click on the 'User Rights Assignment' node.
+
+Open each user right that contains an '*S-' style entry, and remove each entry that begins with '*S-'. Each '*S-' entry represents a user account that has been deleted from the system.
+
+== Cleanup Setup Registry Entries ==
+
+To cleanup the newly created registry entries do the following:
+ * Launch 'regedit.exe' from the Start\Run menu item.
+ * Expand the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' entry.
+ * Expand the 'Software' entry.
+ * Expand the 'Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley' entry.
+ * Delete the 'BOINC Setup' entry.
+
+== Cleanup Migration of Data Files ==
+
+Move all data files back into your installation directory from your newly created data directory.
+
+== Conclusion ==
+
+After preforming all the actions your machine shuold appear to be a clean install to future attempts to execute v6 installers.
