Windows XPSelect -> Start Run type in %temp% this will show all the temporary files, try to select all of them then just press the DEL key, if however it states that there are files that are in use select the detail then order by date, select all the older files more than say a weeks and delete those files, this should speed up your PC, after defragmenting your Hard Disk

Disable the Microsoft error reporting dialogue box
If
Windows encounters a problem with a specific program, a dialogue box will appear asking if you wish to send a report to Microsoft. To stop this appearing, right-click on My Computer and select Properties, then click on the Advanced tab and click on Error Reporting. Click in the circle marked Disable error reporting and click on OK, then OK again.

Check your Windows\PCHealth folder for userdumps, these usually get sent to Microsoft so after use they should be discarded.

If you wish to just receive the critical reporting only, Right Click My Computer, go to Properties, Click on Advanced, then click on error reporting and just select the Disable Error Reporting, but notify me when critical errors occur (make sure this is selected)

CCleaner gets all the temp files, cookies

 

PC Slow

(Windows XP)

 

No matter how fast your PC boots, it’s not fast enough. Here are several
hacks to get you right to your desktop as quickly as possible after start-up.

Speed up PC

 

Defrag Tools

(Windows XP, 2000, Windows 2003 Server)

 

Try O&O Defrag if you can afford it.

O&O Defrag Professional offers a multitude of different defrag options to suit all your needs, and does so in a clean and uncluttered environment.

Unlike other defrag software this title does not require you to stop applications in order to defrag, and there is no limit on the size of hard drives that can be defragged.

There are five different defrag methods on offer for all needs: Stealth, Space, Complete/Name, Complete/Modified, Complete/Access.

The Stealth is designed for use on PCs with large files and little free space, while the Space method is designed for heavily fragmented drives.

The three Complete methods (Name, Modified and Access) sort the files on your drives in different ways - alphabetically, according to date last changed, and according to date last accessed respectively.

The Name method is best for PCs where files are rarely changed, the Modified method for PCs where files rarely change, and Access method for most normal.

As an option, whenever your screensaver is activated, the defrag process will start. When you return to your PC, defragging pauses. Other expected features, such as scheduled defrags and report generation, are also included.
