Delete it all

I want to delete everything that is on my desktop so it is like new. I have backed up everything. I can't do a system restore because I do not have a restore point that goes back 6 years. I just want it all gone. I want it set back to factory settings.

Welcome
Try this boot the computer, during boot hit alt and f10, try holding both down. If that does not work, boot again and press them many times and quickly.

Hi tgaipl,
If the steps mentioned by richc46 do not work, you may have to use the original disc that would have come with the computer to install windows on it. Providing the link for reference: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html

For any clarifications please feel free to contact me.

Thanks and regards,
