SolidWorks Clean Uninstall Utilities - Do They Work?

[handleman]

Has anyone used these cleaning utilities from SW? I'm (hopefully) going to be wiping off 2006 and installing 2007 to 7 or so PCs in a couple of weeks (when I get back from vacation). It sounds like they're supposed to do the items listed in faq559-488. If so it may save me a few manual operations for a job that'll have to be done after-hours.

Thanks!

That util is great according to a colleague of mine, but it doesn't remove every thing. It left SW on the HDD so you have to remove that manually. I had a chance to use it, but I just found it much easier to do it myself, because I didn't want some things removed and even though I could select it myself in the util, I chose to do it myself still just for my piece of mind.
