Just follow Microsoft requirements for Windows Logo for installation and 
uninstallation on the Windows platform.
One of it is to never touch the user profile. This is a requirement for 
Terminal Services Aware applications.
For removing "breadcrumbs", this is not working, an uninstaller cannot 
remove data from all user profiles, this is not possible. Instead an ISV 
can provide a profile cleanup utility.
LL should follow the standards and restrictions.
