    Why do you want to?
    If you have never done it before you can create headaches beyond belief!
    Many of us have done it thousands of times but this is a LAST RESORT scenario
    What exactly is the problem?

    I agree with PC. I've done this numerous times and I still encounter problems when I do a reformat/reinstall.

    There's plenty of people on here that probably help you out with the problems you're having.

    Go For IT..

    create yourself a Windows 95 boot floppy...
    ...nah just messing, if its just unwanted files why not, erm, delete them ??

    If you seriously want to do this, make sure you have a Good CD, Boot floppy with support for your CD-Rom.

    after booting up from floppy

    D: <return>
    DIR <return>

    if you can access the CD your laughing. If not dont go on.

    a:
    format C: /s

    bye bye HD..go to the d drive and run setup.

    come back in a few days when finished.

    If you are determined to start clean, here is a step by step to follow: Windows 95 Installation.

    As has been said, make sure you have the installation disk or CD's for all of the programs you want.
