Thats perfect mate.
Advice too all for speeding things up is also to clean your registry.
Download a program called CCleaner (totaly free and safe) and when installed (its tiny) click the REGISTRY button and click "Check for Errors".
Allow it to fix all that it will find (probably more than 100!) and keep running it until you get no errors.
P.S. Im surprised at how many people are suggesting formatting. I NEVER format mmachines - you simply donthave to if you know what you are doing to simply cleean things up. Formatting is risky - you can lose it all!
And someone recommended a drive partition for Windows which can then be formatted. Ouch!! I would neer recommend this ever. What happens when Windows runs low on disc space on this partition? A horrifically slo computer and no way back unless you wipe everythiing.
Remember, Windows doesnt just slow down - all that makes it slow down is what you install on it, and possibly a hardware problem - all of which is fairly easily fixed.
Hope it helps.
