all you have to do is format your hard drive. open "my computer", right-click your hard drive and select "format"

Hello Scorpian.I'm certainly far from a computer genious or any other kinda genious for that matter.lol.but do you meen delete all the browsing history or what?For browsing history you can look up there and click on tools and a box will drop down giving you the option to delete it.To get rid of programs and stiff,click on start,then control panel,then add or remove programs.I doubt this helped,but if all else fails by a new computer,lol.have a great day,mark.

Its called a format and reinstall, but you will need the CD's that came with the computer.



If you have them usually it's as simple as placing the disk in the CD drive and restarting the computer and follow the prompts to let it restore it to factory settings.



Update the question if you have a true Windows Foil CD and I will give you instructions on how to FandR with that.



Honestly it's very easy to do, but realize that EVERYTHING on your computer will be gone and it will be back to the day you bought it. No email passwords saved, no Microsoft Office documents, no anti virus protection nothing everything will be gone.

You would not be able to do it your self because it requires a little brain power which it seems you don't have since you can't spell correctly. Because you will have to reformat and Re-install the OS if you want to start off fresh. Don't listen to most of these retards. Just go to your local Computer Repair Shop and tell them that you want your computer Reformatted and the OS Re-installed. It will probably cost you about $200 for them to do a 2hr job.



ITS SPELLED GENIUSES & DELETE!!

Depending on the brand of computer, you can usually use the system restore disks. Usually it involves putting the disk in and rebooting them machine.



Make sure you hit whichever key it tells you to hit in order to "Boot to CD"



From there the wizard will walk you through the process. If it is a fairly new computer you can call the manufacturer to take you step by step through this process.



You may want to back up your "Favorites" from your web browser.



These are contained in the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\[windows username]\Favorites

If you really want to delete everything, go to the control panel and click system recovery.

formatting your hard drive should do it .....be sure to save everthing u want to keep on a disc.Then you will need a startup disc to re-activate.
