    If I install the office trail and the delete it. If I try to reinstall the trail it knows I already installed it once. How does it do this? Is there a file some place that stores this data?

    Likely that information is in a hidden and inaccesible part of the Registry.

    We can't help you with finding the info...If you like Office, you should consider purchasing it;)

    You could try out a freeware equivalent - Openoffice
    Has all of the basic feature of MS Office.
