Window crank and door lock are held on with a horseshoe shaped clip. There is a tool to remove the clip, but I've used a small screwdriver (carefully!) many times. The door latch handle just has a Phillips head screw holding it.

Another method is to find out which way the clip end is facing, then take a rag and wrap it around the shaft handle and pull it opposite the clip end. It pulls it off and no worries about scratch's.
