there's a couple of databases on the client you want to remove, plus a couple of other files.
remove: names.nsf, bookmark.nsf, userreg.nsf, log.nsf, busytime.nsf, domadmin.nsf, headline.nsf, perweb.nsf, journal.nsf, cache.dsk and desktop5.dsk
make sure you don't remove the files with the same names but with the .ntf extension.
next open notes.ini and remove everything below the line that starts with WinNTIconPath=
start the client and you'll see the default configuration wizard just like after a clean installation.
