My dell inspiron 8600 has been updated to windows 7. I would now like to go back to windows XP. How do?

Original title: 8600 Dell laptop.
You will need to reformat your computer and reinstall XP.
But you don't want to do what XP drops support next month, which means that you will be completely vulnerable to hacking and malware. Stay on Windows 7.

I moved your question answers feedback to Windows desktop and personalization areas.
You care to offer up what version of Windows, you are talking about but if it's Windows 7, I would right-click on the offending list and either:
- Remove from this list , is that the entry is in the most recent lower part / area most often used.
- Delete the Start Menu if the entry is pinned in the Start Menu (above the most recent / most often used).

Security How can I remove the copy and paste the files I used?
Security How can I remove the copy and paste the files I used?
I can't get rid of all the e-mail addresses I have copied and pasted. No matter what I will always appear if I hit paste again. This is a shared computer and I would rather not have my copy and paste the files stored on the computer, after that I quit.
Thank you
Hi Ron,
You can copy or move information (for example, text and pictures) between files and programs using temporary storage called the Clipboard. The Clipboard is not visible, so even if you use it to copy and paste information, you never actually see the Clipboard when you do this.
The Clipboard contains a block of information at a time. Whenever you copy information to the Clipboard, the old contents of the Clipboard is replaced by the new information.
When you shut down the computer everything is stuck in the memory of the Clipboard is cleared.
Please click the below mentioned link to get an overview of the clip board memory.

How can I remove Windows Security Suite of XP?
Can someone help me? I have the Windows Security Suite virus on my XP computer. Whenever I start the PC, a program runs telling me I have so many viruses, Trojans etc. and asks me to buy software to get rid of them (I didn't buy it!). I also pop ups in the lower left corner of the bar saying various programs tasks, we stopped loading due to infection by the w32/blaster.worm. I learned that it is the Windows Security Suite Virus. How can I remove this? I try to run various software in normal mode, but the virus blocks to open up. I can't open any programs or crib etc. in normal mode due to the virus of the task. I went into safe mode and ran the programs, but they detect all viruses! I used Malwarebytes for it. How can I remove this virus? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can remove it by following this guide:
I hope this helps.
