While this may not be a complete delete procedure, it will get most of it.
1. Delete the directory where the program resides - probably Program
Files\Quicken
2. Use Regedit to locate and delete any references to Quicken
There are also uninstall utilities that are available, including Norton.
However, I have not found them to be very effective.
Others on the list may have additional suggestions specifically for Quicken.
If not, give the above a try to clean things up. Good luck.

Recently, I let a friend share my computer. He installed Quicken. We've
since parted ways, and I've moved to another state, and I have no way (or
desire) to contact him. I'd like to uninstall Quicken, but when I try, it
asks for the serial number, as if it's actually installing from scratch.
Obviously, I don't have this information.
I also tried Eraser to wipe the program altogether, but that failed; Access
Denied. The program doesn't take up a lot of space, but I have an old 30GB
hard drive, so every byte is needed. I don't want to wipe the whole hard
drive, though, just to delete this one program (that I can't use anyway).
I'm running XP.
How can I get rid of this waste?
