Well my computer is a couple of years old and takes forever to startup. It will get to the welcome screen in good time, but once I login first it sits there for about 2 minutes just showing by desktop backround with no taskbar, icons or anything. I cannot do anything for at least the next 7 minutes. I can click on folders and shortcuts but they don't open, About 5 minutes after logging in, Suddenly a heap of programs come up, installs that have expired trial software, Steam, Skype, Bittorrent and some other files, as well as anything I clicked on in the first 7 minutes before it started responding. When I have closed these I look at my notification area, and there are about 5-10 installs, programs and updates that are waiting for me to use them. I click on them, but they will not open up for about 5 minutes, and when they do their taskbar lists won't respond, and pop up wherever my mouse is pointed. If I get them all closed, I try to start a simple program like Firefox or open a video with GOM Player it will be really laggy and highly unresposive while it spends way too long to open anything. Once the program is open, however, there are no problems. The problem almost certianly rests with my HDD's beign overloaded, but they are not all that full:
C: 465 GB Space, 60GB Free
E: 931 GB Space, 410GB Free
F (Portable): 931 GB Space, 31 GB Free
Any software to speed up my computer would be appreciated.
