Best thing to do is boot up off of your operating system cd or recovery cd. Do a clean install of Windows formatting your hard drive in the process. This will get rid of all of your personal stuff as well as give your friend a fresh computer to work with.

You don’t need a technician. Depending on how many files you have, you can burn them onto a CD or DVD or you can use an external hard drive. If you have your windows CD that came with the PC, the best thing to do if you want complete security is to use dban (http://dban.sourceforge.net/). This will do a complete wipe of your hard drive. No files will be at all recoverable. Make sure you follow instructions on the site. Then reinstall Windows and it will be like new. After that point you might have to reinstall some drivers.

If you have the restore CD, restore it to its original state. If you have Windows CD, then format the hard-drive and re-install Windows. If you don’t have any then go manually and delete all personal files

The root of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not really settle well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you might do nicely to fill in those breaks. If you can accomplish that, I would surely end up being impressed.
