It takes ages to boot now, really slow and clunky to use.
I though this only happened pre-XP?

Can't remember adding any programs.
It takes ages loading on the windows splash screen.

A service could be playing up, or a startup program.
Try doing a clean boot - open MSCONFIG and clear all the Startup items and click OK, then restart. If it is a lot quicker then you will have to track down the Startup item.
If it is still slow, go back into MSCONFIG and disable all the services - except MS ones. Click OK and restart. Hopefully now it will be quicker - then track down the faulty one.
It is trial and error and can take some time.
