There were even commercial products on the market to purge > those leftovers. The Windows reset option is reinstallation, and always has been. For the last few versions, the installation medium is a partition on the hard drive, and it can be invoked from within Windows or from a BIOS startup key. Reinstallation restores the partitioning to the factory configuration, and formats the partitions, and the factory partitioning scheme fills the entire drive. Nothing survives, so data which must be kept must be lifted off the hard drive entirely. Additional hard drives fitted after sale to the machine are not touched, as far as I know. Uninstallation of individual programs is certainly not reliable. -- Joe
