I have found this:

Empty Prefetch on your system

Also have you done the following:

Disk Defrag
Disk Cleanup
Spyware Scan
Virus Scan

3rd Party cleanup (I use a program called Window Washer and it does get rid of some files and speed it up)

Christ, that is a lot of scanning going on!

I only ever seem to do mine every so often but I must admit I have never heard of the prefetch thing.

I have just done that as well

I would recommend a program called "Window Washer" which basically deletes all of the temporary files on your PC, the internet history, clears the cache and basically gets all the stuff from niggly places you never knew you had
