Preparing old laptop for son

If I was selling it, I would just wipe it and restore it to original condition, but I don't want to do that, as Vista has been upgraded to SP2, and there are several programs on it that I think he would enjoy having.
So, since this is going into relatively safe hands, I just want to make sure that there is nothing personal, private, or emabarrassing on this machine that could rear its ugly head. I know he isn't going to do any forensic scans of the deleted data or anything like that.
So,
I need to get myself as a user off the machine, as well as my password. How do you do that?
I need to delete my documents folder, music, pictures, etc.
Clear browsing history, cookies etc from web browsers.
Delete favorites (bookmarks). I'm not sure how you do this either.


What about system restore? How can I create a new restore point after everything is deleted, and remove any older restore points that would restore my data?

What else?

 

You can run CCleaner on your account which will get rid of most of the stuff you want (make sure to check the options): CCleaner - Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download

Go to your browsers and delete your bookmarks in the bookmarks organization window (firefox, probably others).

Then create your son's account, delete your account (which will remove your password, etc.), and delete the C:\Users\<Your username> folder

 

Thanks for the help. CCleaner looks like a good thing to do.
Do you have any advice on what to do with system restore?

 

With system restore, you should be able to wipe everything, Wipe your documents, temp internet files, ect. Everything CCleaner does, and everything else you don't want on the system. Uninstall any programs you don't want, and then when the system is sanatized, you can delete all the old restore points, and then create a new restore point. That way in the event that you need to do a system restore, it will be back to the state it was when you handed the system over to your son.

 

I don't understand what's going on with system restore. I turned it off, and the system says there are 0 restore points available. However, looking at the D drive, there are 11 gb of files there. Why aren't they deleted?
