Advanced windows cleaner. It's a program.

http://www.download.com/Advanced-Windows-Cleaner/3000-2086_4-10288368.html

The trial lasts 30 days but I'm sure you can clean up whatever you need to in that time.

Or you could just reformat.

Never tried it myself but Darek's boot and nuke has a good reputation.

-Burn CD
-boot from this CD
-entire system gets wiped. (including Windows or whatever's on there)

I dont know what manufacturers do when it comes to returns, but i doubt it has much to do with sitting around and sifting through all your personal data, They most Likely fix whats wrong and sell it as refurbished to someone like tiger direct with a fresh install.
