When GP 10 is uninstalled, what artifacts does it leave behind?

I'm asking because I'm experiencing strange focus-related behaviors in GP 2010 on computers that previously had GP 10 installed (and subsequently uninstalled before installing GP 2010) but the strange behaviors don't occur on machines that have never had GP 10 installed. More specifically, the strange behavior occurs when VBA tied to a local field (push button) displays a form from a custom DLL.

Re: GP 10 uninstall artifacts

My reason for asking was flawed; the root cause was actually Microsoft.Dexterity.Support.FilterEvents.dll being installed when it shouldn't have been, not any artifacts directly left behind from the GP 10 installation.

The only artifact I've actually seen left behind (with, admittedly, minimal testing) is the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Dynamics\GP folder. Perhaps the list in the GP 10 manual uninstall instructions is comprehensive and only items in it are candidates for being left behind after a proper uninstall.
