Anybody knows a way to cleanly uninstall a program that stores its settings on the per-user basis and installs for all users? I mean only the way to completely following the all Logo (Vista, 7, 8 - Server and Desktop) requirements.
I have found no way but installing a program on per-user basis, which in general can't be the solution.
Maybe leave some .cmd files in each user's home folder for cleaning-up application data?
The Logo requirements contains a lot of contradictions, and precisely following them seems to be impossible.
David Walker in his great comment to What do I do with per-user data when I uninstall? mentions:
Some users prefer that an uninstall would do a complete cleanup of all traces of a program.
Other users wish that a later reinstall would not force them to re-customize their settings.
These two wishes are incompatible.
Which one Microsoft recommends, actually, to pass all their Logo Certification tests? I mean all of them - from Vista to 8, both Server and Desktop.

Here's Raymond Chen's unofficial personal recommendation.
No. Let the data go.
