format and running pgms

[S. janek]

Help, please. 2 questions.....

1. prior to selling my tower, I want to wipe the hard drive by formatting it leaving it blank. Is there any chance info can still be retrieved from the drive after formatting?

2. how do I tell which programs are currently running in Windows 98?

many thanks!

You can also press CTRL + ALT + DEL to see what programs are currently running.

What Merlin has advised you will only show what programs are currently installed.
