just to speed it up and get the chrome finish (trol)
delte everything except chrome (well save what you need) 
start-->set programme defaults etc -->change or remove programmes-->off you go :D
if you really want to delete everything, you may want to run a "system revert", ie, reset to factory settings, i really cba to tell you here, go to http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/restore-to-factory-settings-windows-xp-vista/ 

bish bash bosh, you have a make shift chromebook!

if you want to be geeky, just keep googling to customise how you want it
enjoy!

I must say, very creative. I will try this when i inevitably get a virus and need to wipe my hard drive. Cant you download the Chrome OS tho?

thank you :) you can download the OS, but you need a completely blank usb stick, which i didnt have, and as much as i love the idea of the cloud, i dont completely trust, so its nice to have a barebones version of windows, even if it comprimises speed a little.
im also quite into C++ and i cant find a compiler in the cloud :)
hope this helps ;)
