Hi,
This seems to contradict what I saw.  The file default_bayes_customize.ini
was in the Application Data directory of my profile and contained a page or
so of comments along with a couple parameters.  I added the list of
experimental parameters to that file.  After I un-installed the application,
the file only contained the list of parameters I posted and nothing else.
I renamed this file so it would not be found and I got a similar results to
fixing the settings as suggested.  The file default_bayes_customize.ini was
built in the bin directory under the folder created for the application and
not the profile directory.
As I said, some of these setting may want to be preserved, but I feel
experimental setting should minimally be removed.  A more complex method
might question the existence of each one before removing them.  Retained
options should be validated at some point.

Paul

We never remove any settings or training data when the user uninstalls.
There have been times in the past where a new version of SpamBayes required
uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, and we don't
want users to lose their settings in that case.  We also sometimes recommend
that a user uninstall SpamBayes to see if a particular problem goes away
without it.  If it doesn't, we can assure them that they can simply
reinstall and all their settings will be intact.
