There's a couple ways, it seems like ScottGem has been helping you so far but I've done this many many times so I'll just add in my two cents.

Yeah, make sure ANYTHING you want is backed up to online storage (can range from $5-$50 a month), CD/DVD storage (pack of 10 rewritable cds is only around $15), some other drive (totally varies depending on the size you have), or someone elses computer if you have a way of doing that

Then, ur computer should either come with a restoration cd(s) or if your using and HP/Compaq you have a special drive that you can boot up from to reformat and reinstall Windows.

There is also a way to reformat through the command prompt but you have to have an actual Windows CD

If you read thru the thread my initial answer was:

Booting is the process of powering up your PC.

To reboot your PC, Shut it down and restart it.

If the problem is that you just don't see any icons try this.

Log onto your system as you. When you get to the main screen, where you would normally see your icons, please right click anywhere on the screen. A pop up menu will appear, search that menu for an entry that will allow you to see the icons.

For the record, the only reason to reformat your PC is because you have no other way around the problem.

Reformating will destroy every ones data, not just yours. And after the reformat, you will have to reload each and every program for that PC. Don't do that unless you absolutely have to!
