black viper's guide is the most famous one on the net:
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

it's what i use to streamline my system.

about reformats, you're right. reformats don't erase all
the data, which is why data can still be recovered even
after a reformat. to truly erase data, you'll need to do
something more, like write ones and zeroes several times.
