Removing Parallels Tools from Windows

My trial just expired so I can no longer uninstall Parallels Tools from my Boot Camp partition. Every time I try, I get an an error "Parallels Tools require that your Windows is running under Virtual Machine. The installation will be stopped." How do I do a full uninstall now? That gets rid of Parallels Tools and any drivers that installed along with it? I have tried safe-mode and I did notice a KB article on removing Parallels Tools manually ( http://kb.parallels.com/entry/38/319/ ) but I'm not sure if this removes everything...

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, unfortunately I can't boot from parallels because the demo expired.

Edit: So with invisible files visible, I did a search in Windows and deleted everything I found that had "parallels" in it. I also did a search in RegSeeker for "parallels" and found over 550 entires. I just deleted them... gonna reboot and see how it goes.

Edit 2: Well, it didn't get it all. Missed a lot, unfortunately. Some stuff still is listed with "Prl" but other things on my system have that too, so no batch removing. At least windows is MUCH snappier now.
