  14. Method I use by mombodog · · Score: 2 · on Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave?
    Short answer, no easy way to do what you suggest. Cleaning personal info from W7 is a manual job that takes time, and no way to guarantee you got it all. Best advice is to use the restore partition (if it has one) or clean Install of W7 and then when it is done restoring or the clean install is done, overwrite all the free space on the drive with "Eraser 5.8.8", this guarantee's all info has been overwritten.

    Posting your Make and exact Model may prompt us for more suggestions.

    If re-installing is Not an option.

    Back up data you want to save, then follow the exact order below.

    1. Create a new admin user account.

    2. Log into that new account and delete any other user accounts (do not delete the hidden admin or guest accounts)

    3. Uninstall any software you don't want to pass on. then search the hard drive for those names of software and remove any folders left behind.

    4. Delete any folders on the C drive that may have been created manually by the user.

    5. Do a IE7-8 reset, then delete browsing history (select all the boxes)

    6. Use index.dat suite to delete any .dat files it finds,(requires selecting them to be deleted on a reboot) http://support.it-mate.co.uk/?mode=Products&p=index.datsuite

    See this link for instructions using index.dat suite on Vista or W7 http://support.it-mate.co.uk/?mode=Products&act=FAQ&p=index.datsuite#193

    Or use a linux live disc to delete all the .dat files.

    7. At the command prompt type these 3 commands one at a time hitting enter each time, the erase tmp command may take time to complete.

    cd\

    erase *.tmp /s

    erase *.bak /s

    8 . Empty the Recycle Bin

    9 . Use eraser version 5.8.8 to erase the free space on the hard drive, install eraser, then right click on the C drive and select "erase unused space". (it may take quite some time if the hard drive is large) http://sourceforge.net/projects/eraser/files/

    Index.dat Suite is freeware for Windows that will make a 'run-once' batch file you can customize to remove anything you want at boot. As a bonus it scans for and removes little MS gems like 'cookies/index.dat' and several other pesky 'unexplained' files. Overall the sites worth checking out.
