Slow computer. I already tried....

[gergery]

Ok, I have a slow computer and I’m trying to get it to speed up.
I will often have Party, Stars, Empire, PT, PTO, Playerview, Explorer open.

I searched other threads and went into Windows, Run and found which applications open when I turn the computer on. There were ~15 or more applications listed. I unclicked a bunch and restarted which seemed to help, but there are still lots listed. But they have crazy names like nwiz and I can’t tell whether they are actually valuable or not.

How can I figure out which ones I can unclick without screwing something up?

Also, I’ve done defragmenter, disk check and deleted .tmp files.
What else can I do to help speed up my compter?
