    A simple question:

    How does one delete all data when passing on a laptop for another person to borrow?

    (I'd like to delete my activity, but keep the software programs on it.)
    Thanks in advance.

    Set them up a "restricted user" account on the laptop.

    Make sure the laptop is NOT set to automatically log a user in.

    Make sure that the administrators documents and settings are kept "private". (This may not be possible from Windows "Home" XP/Vista/7 versions).

    Make sure booting from removable drives is disabled in the BIOS.
