Keep Programs but clean harddrive - Possible?

Hi, I Don't know if this is possible so thought I'd ask the experts.
I'm planning on giving my PC to a friend but whilst wanting to hand over the PC as
it is (I.e with XP and all the programs/updates/security packages/Software I have
collected and downloaded) I also want to ensure that I don't leave any personnel
information on the PC.
Although I've copied onto CD's the information I want to keep for my new PC and have
deleted them from the old PC (I.e recycle bin) is there a way off also ensuring these
are permanently deleted from the hard drive but still keeping the programs etc on
the PC.
I've read about something called 'eraser' but don't know how this works. Does this
wipe everything?
If I can't do as mentioned how best would I keep all the data I require and then
return the PC to how I first bought it - I will then have to download from scratch
the programs etc back onto the PC?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
