I would like to COMPLETELY reset my computer

ie. Send it back to it's state when i turned it on for the first time.
Delete files and uninstall programs. I have already backed up all important
files.

My computer is a Fujitsu-Siemens Si-1520 laptop from August 06 and i am
using Windows XP home. I have my windows disk.

I tried putting the disk in and pressing the right buttons with the result
that all programs were uninstalled (GOOD) but ALL the files I originally had
were STILL THERE (BAD). This included program files and old user files. There
are now remnants which I cannot delete. I have tried finding answers at this
site and many others but have not found a clear guide.

Please help me. Ed
 
Hi Ed,

You have found the wrong newsgroup for this kind of question. Try

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

This newsgroup is meant for .Net related questions.

I suspect your answer would be format your drive, however, do not do this unless you know what the effects are.
