How old is your PC?

Maybe it's about time to get a DELL.

If it's slow, it might not be just because of the excess files.
Try running spyware programs as these are notorious for slowdowns, and defraging will help

I use ad-aware and spybot to rid me of most of the spyware.

a lot of TSR type applications that load when windows loads and stay there continuously can slow you down too.

Auto update features from virus scanners, various software apps like windows auto update can all slow you down as they are loaded and stay there and scan like once a day, week, every couple of days.

Also you can check the windows install/uninstall option. It scans for all loaded apps and gives you the option of deleting whatever you like. Just don't delete any of the windows updates, you need those. Who knows? maybe you have like 5 photo editors and you only use one.....

How much memory do you have? I bought a gig a year ago for $120.00 bucks and my system sped up about 30%, coupled with a pentium 2.26 (compared to a celeron 1.8) I got about a 100% system speed increase.

BTW mac schmak, they suck!! lol Never crash my ass, 50% of the time I use one the dam thing hangs and has to be rebooted.

You can get a good system less than 600 bucks now....
