use ghost or such like to create an image (best using two pc's and xfering image over a LAN)- or just backup your data and re-install everything from scratch - tends to clear out a load of crap this way.

If you were going to re-install, you could always use the files and settings transfer wizrd to keep your documents and default settings for stuff etc. Dump to a file. Format the new drive. Copy the dump file to the root, install xp again and then restore the dump file
