Help erase problem

[Apathetic]

What I want to do is delete everything on my computer but keep the os on so its like its all new and stuff. Anyone know how to do this besides going around and just deleting stuff?

I would think the asiest way would be to just insert your windows cd, do a reformat, an re-install windows, or use your restore disk if its from a manufacturer like dell.

its called a clean install

Try a system restore to the earyiest date you can...but if you don't have a system restore disk theres really nothing you can do besides deleteing every hing yourself...and i assume you dont have a copy of windows on a disk...

usually some program on your computer puts that there, and if you already deleted the program u think it is, theres prolly still some parts of the program somewhere on ur comp

you probably want to reformat? pop in the windows cd and make sure the cdrom drive is the first boot device which it should be. then follow directions. easy as that. or you can go to add/remove program and uninstall away.

Grab TweakUI from Micrsoft and under the "templates" tab you can delete that entry
