how do I reboot?

I recently had a bad virus.  I saved all my stuff and am ready to completely rease my computer and reinstall my programs.  Believe me, it was the only option.  I did this once before, but I know there is an entire procedure to erase the system clean.  I tried just reinstalling XP, but there were stilkl alot of old programs and stuff left on the computer.  Please help.

    That just tells me how to reinstall XP.  The last time I rebooted, first I typed several commands in to wipe out the registry and programs, in order to start with an clean slate.
