One thing that is often overlooked, and can have a negative affect on your computer's performance,
are all the files that are in the TEMP directory. I've had quite a few people ready to get new computers until this was cleaned.
These are easy to clean and slightly different in Win9x and Windows2000 or WindowsXP
Windows98
Open up a DOS prompt
CD \windows\temp (make sure you are in that directory before running the next line.
Run deltree /y *.*
CD \windows
Run del *.tmp (be very careful of the spelling)
Windows2000 / WindowsXP
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Temp (where User_Name is replaced by the person who is logged in)
Delete all the files
