You may have a lot of programs loaded at startup. Look at Registry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to see whats loaded and in Start, Programs, Startup
Defrag your hard drives.
Scan for viruses and spy/adware.

Also, look in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
or just load up StartUp Control Panel and stop hunting around in the registry.
Or run msconfig.
But, I prefer going through the registry. I'm a lot more comfortable there.
