Need to speed up this bogged down laptop
I have a friend bringing over his laptop so I can clean it out and speed it up a bit, I work in an imaging lab and usually we simply reimage the thing and reload the personal data/applications. However in this scenario it's a laptop used for music studio work and has lots of software/plugins that would be a nightmare to reload.
What's a few good methods to speed up a computer bogged down from general use without reloading the OS?

On the contrary there have been some good suggestions here which, if followed, would have certainly helped to "speed up a computer bogged down from general use without reloading the OS".
I suggest the following forced accepts.

askers that walk away should be flamed...
I get angry too, but maybe that just a bit extreme. Sometimes there may be extenuating circumstances, like illness, that mean people cannot return to the question. All the questions apart from this one and one that was asked after this (now abandoned too) have been "solved" with "A" grades, so maybe there is a good reason.
i agree Bill, withing reason that's ok
Thank you howardallenIT, or whoever closed the question.
