You're talking about "silicone caulk" or "silicone adhesive" which is a form of rubber, correct? If the material has not cured, isopropyl alcohol and naphtha will both remove it. If it HAS cured...bad news, the only way to get THAT off is mechanical - scrape, cut, sand, scour with a scotchbrite pad.
How can you remove silicone caulk from painted wood?
It can be rather difficult to remove silicone calk from painted wood. The good news is that the paint will largely prevent the calk from having seeped into the wood itself. The bad news is that it will be tough to remove it without damaging the paint. Peel off as much as of the calk as possible with either a knife or manually. Then take an abrasive green dish pad and hot water to the rest. Alternatively, paint thinner will remove it quickly but will require repainting.
Wnat is the difference between caulk and sealant?
they're both used for the same purpose i.e. fill joints and cracks between building materials.

How do you caulk windows yourself?
Use an exterior window caulk. If you plan to paint over it make sure it is "paintable" caulk. Run the bead of caulk using a caulking gun. You can smooth out the bead with your finger and clean up any residual caulk with a wet rag (this clean uo only works if the caulk is water based...check the tube to make sure it is....it's easier if it is) If you use silicone caulk you can't paint it and you cannot clean up any errors with a wet rag so unless you are real exact in applying the bead I would avoid this type of caulk.
