    Open my computer,tools,folder options,untick-"automatically search for network folders and printers".

    Disable indexing service.

    Found this a coupla days ago but it didn't make much of a difference on my pc.Others may want to comment on it.

    Windows XP and Windows 2000 may enable LMHosts lookup on a network using the TCP/IP protocol, which most networks are set up to use by default. If there is no LAN Manager Host on a network, which there won't be on most small networks, Windows XP and Windows 2000 can lose themselves for a lengthy periods every time a program is opened as they looks in vain for the Host that isn't present. Simply disabling the LMHosts Lookup setting solves the problem completely and allows programs to open at their normal speed.

    This is how the LMHosts Lookup setting is disabled. Open My Computer, click My Network Places, right-click Network Connections, click Properties, then right click on Local Area Connection => Properties. Find the Internet Protocol entry and select Properties => Advanced => WINS. Once there, uncheck the Enable LMHosts lookup setting.

    Many speed up tweaks at the link below.

  4. Have you tried somthing simple first like cleanmgr, scandisk and defrag yet?
    If you have not done those things yet i suggest it is time to do so and just get back to us with results and tell us how you are running.
