Factory Reset?

So I am playing around with my new Treo 700w that I got from Verizon and installing some trial versions of various programs.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong but sometimes when I uninstall a program and reinstall it later on, the settings I placed on it prior to uninstall is kept on the reinstall.

So I am thinking that sometimes some dll or other file is not fully uninstalled when doing the add/remove program feature.

My question is this.

Will performing a Hard Reset (press reset and power button at same time):

* Remove everything that I have put in my Treo (hidden files, dll, etc.).
* My Treo will be reset as if I just got the phone brand new from my Service Provider.


Just wondering as after playing around with the trial versions of what I put in my Treo, I think I would like to reset it as new so I will be sure nothing is left behind except for what I would like to keep in it.

Settings are normally kept in the registry and sometimes get left after an uninstall.
