Thank you for that advise I have nothing VERY sensitive on my computer I had some music videos a few hundred mp3s and some personal details such as bill payments ALL have been deleted and then I downloaded https://buy.cyberscrub.com/W3Trial/w3trial.php and wiped my c\drive once with a DoD standard and that’s about it but being rather picky I was wondering if re-booting my XP from scratch might add more secure knowledge that all my info was off the c\drive yet windows remains intact.
But if its not really going to do much I might not bother.
