I'd just reinstall windows vista. That's the best way to get rid of everything, but the OS.

not really, i think vista reinstall doesnt get rid of evth. itll get rid of registries and installed components, but data i believe, such as game saves, remains.

a os reinstall will only get rid of everything if you format and reinstall

there is usually an option to do a clean install. that should wipe everything in a format.

It's my big brother who's had his Vista laptop for a few years now, he wants to fully clean it out of Everything and start using it as a temporary studio-computer 'till he can buy an Apple.
