I used this program to clean up the registery on my computer, it helped speed things up a bit: (THIS IS A DIRECT LINK TO DOWNLOAD REGSCRUB XP)

Not sure what happened. I used that 2nd program and now when I click on windows explorer, I get "My Documents." So, I used the registry back up to restore the registry and I still get MD instead of WE.

I guess it's time to FDisk this thing. I can't do that by myself, but I'd like to get all these games and other preloads off as long as I'm going to reload everything. I found a whole gaggle of Trend Micro files this morning that won't uninstall. I'll bring the tower to anyone that wants to do this and pay the going rate.
