At the moment, the XP boxes are set up just as they were on the day they
were turned off - reasonably well-specced for 'office' machines,
decent-sized hard drives.

I think I know the answer g - but is there a reliable way of wiping
any confidential info (passwords etc) without removing the XP install..?


No. Run DBAN on them and install Linux Mint.


If I'm not sure what the next owner will want to do with them, I guess I
might as well just DBAN them. They can then install whatever they want..
Thanks
