1. Right click on My Network Places, choose properties, right click Local Area Connections or Dial up Networking, choose properties highlight the Novell Client for Windows and then click on the "Uninstall" button. Windows will confirm that you want to remove the Novell Client for 2000/XP from all connections and not just the current connection. Confirm "Yes" to this prompt and the Novell Client for 2000/XP and dependant Windows network services will be removed.

2. Reboot the workstation with no client

Troubleshooting failed uninstall:

1. If the C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 was deleted, in order to uninstall the client clean, reinstall the client, then uninstall as listed above. All clients can be downloaded from Download Website

2. Try step one first, then: If, due to problems or corruption, the client can not be successfully removed from the Network control panel, use REGEDIT to manually remove/change the following registry keys and values.

Remove three keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetWareWorkstation
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers\NetWare Print Services

Change the GinaDLL value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
Under this key exists a string value named "GinaDLL".
Edit this entry from "NWGINA.DLL" to "MSGINA.DLL".

Prior to rebooting, verify that MSGINA.DLL exists in the Windows SYSTEM32 directory and reflects the appropriate date/version for the installed Windows service pack. Copy MSGINA.DLL from the appropriate service pack if necessary.

Restart the workstation. Note that the above steps only disable the core client functionality (unlike removal from the Network control panel applet where dependant services are also removed).
