What's the best way to completely remove everything from a computer, without re-installing?

I am handing back my laptop I used for research at the company I had my internship at.

I was wondering what is the best way to delete my User Account and all my files so that no one could recover anything intact e.g. Research ideas or product ideas.

I have Admin Privileges and was planning on just deleting my account in the User Management window.

Any better methods than this?

Delete your account and then use a tool such as CCleaner to securely wipe the empty areas of the hard drive.

You may need to log in as yourself to run the tool, but that account will be essentially empty and therefore not a security risk.
