Yeah go to the control panel, use add and remove programs... find SH3 and follow the on screen instructions to whip everything out.

when it asks you to keep save data click no...

you may need to delete your main SH3 folder too in My programs.

Or do what Danlisa says....

Visit the GWX Homepage and look at the FAQ section. (below my sig)

Also, clear the registry. Enter regedit in the 'run' text box in the 'start' menue and delete the Ubisoft folders.

Not advisable if you have other Ubisoft titles on your PC.

I have also found it extemely important to run a deframentation after any major changes. Deleting large numbers of files leaves a lot of residual crud.Thanks to the GWX developers for the best game yet!

I defrag once a month anyway.

Good point.

Little thing I found out today, maybe it'll help somebody.

I completely uninstalled SH3 and all remenets there of to prepare for GWX 2.
After re-installing SH3, when I came to patch it up to 1.4 standard I encountered all kind of problems. No matter what I tried the patches all refused to install. After much head scratching I tried un-installing SH3 Commander as-well. After this I was able to patch SH3 up to 1.4 no problem.

Maybe it was just an perculiarity on my system, but now I'm ready for GWX 2.

Always rollback SH3commander before uninstalling SHIII
Otherwise old game files are loaded into your new install when starting next through SH3commander

Much better to uninstall EVERYTHING including SH3 Commander.
After you've deleted the lot, use the SH3 disk to perform a final 'uninstall' operation....you'd be suprised what it sometimes finds to remove.
