While what you say is true in 99.99% of cases, Windows can (not always) get its knickers in a twist all by itself over time.  I've seen it happen on completely closed systems - no new software, no internet connection.


0.01% = unlucky.

Yeah, it can and does happen, but more often its due to faulty hardware, usually the bit between the screen and seat.

It might be you have an Anti Virus program or tool with an option activated causing it to monitor/viruschecks in realtime all file accesses/reads/writes. That slows down things a lot.

Or a tool that maintains some database.

A tool called FileMon (google for it) which is similiar to SnoopDos on the Amiga might give some hints.

I once had a rootkit virus which also caused massive slowdown.

If the problem is most notable during startup, try de-fragmenting your registry. I have noticed dramatic performance increases (especially at startup) after optimizing the registry using Registry Mechanic.
