Are Windows uninstallers *supposed* to remove your personal settings?

...but that doesn't mean it's the name of the executable image; the name of the Wireshark executable image as we build install it is "wireshark.exe", with a lower-case "w", and other executable images have different names.

If it's anything at all, it's the name of the *installation* *directory* under \Program Files - but there's no requirement that the personal settings directory have the same name as the installation directory of the package.
