One option that you have is to clear your "prefetch". If you have had your computer for a while then the prefetch gets cluttered up. To do this follow these steps: go to "my computer", C drive, windows and then prefetch. Then go to the top left corner and select "edit", "select all".

Maybe every other month or so because TOO much will also slow your system down.
