Could use CCleaner and good old defrag to get most of the stuff. You could also just go through add/remove programs to see what programs you don't use anymore.

Eliminate unwanted programs from running at startup.

Click the link in my signature "Slow Windows?".

1. copy this and paste on notepad:

@echo off
del /s /f /q c:\windows\temp\*.*
rd /s /q c:\windows\temp
md c:\windows\temp
del /s /f /q C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
del /s /f /q %temp%\*.*
rd /s /q %temp%
md %temp%
deltree /y c:\windows\tempor~1
deltree /y c:\windows\temp
deltree /y c:\windows\tmp
deltree /y c:\windows\ff*.tmp
deltree /y c:\windows\history
deltree /y c:\windows\cookies
deltree /y c:\windows\recent
deltree /y c:\windows\spool\printers
del c:\WIN386.SWP
cls


2. on the notepad: click file > save as (choose desktop as destination)
3. save the document with this file name: fast.bat
4. click save
done..
the icon should appear on your desktop. just double click on it anytime and as much as you want.. (note: it cleans up your pc.) your pc will run faster..

Just download and install CCleaner as suggested.

It does the same thing and more.

there's the code. copy that and paste on a notepad. click save as, choose desktop as destination and save it as .bat file.. (you may use filenames such as fast.bat, clean.bat, love.bat, etc. once you saved it it should appear on the desktop without the .bat in the filename. doubleclick everytime your pc runs slow..that should work..

Since there are many reasons of slow computer, you need to different software to do that.

Anti-virus software to get rid of viruses.

Defrag to defragment disk and registry respectively.

Update RAM

Which one is your favorite?
