The irony is that MS believe they designed Windows for idiots <wink>.

I haven't used the binary installer so I don't know what all it does.  A
definitive answer here will have to come from Mark, or someone else
Windows-savvy who has actually used it.

If you have a directory somewhere (assuming Win2K) like

    \Documents and Settings\
        YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\
            Application Data\
                SpamBayes\

then it's hiding config and database info in there, and you should blow that
away.
