Here are some trick how to speed up your applications/software. After you follow this trick and restart your windows you can see your application like adobe, dreamweaver, etc more faster. Here are step where you must go:
Start Menu –> Run –> Regedit
Look For the Keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MECHINE –> SYSTEM –> CurrentConrolSet –> Control –> Session Manager –> Memory Management –> PrefetchParameters
Now Look For The DWORD KEY : ENABLEPREFETCHER
Its Default Value Is: 3
Change The Value To: 6
Now Close The Registry Editor And Restart Your Computer
Note: If u change its Value to 1 its very Slow
Good luck!

Deleting prefetch files can help as well as this becomes corrupted over time. I often get emails about a slow shutdown, and the following two tips help with this problem
End all Terminal Services:
Shutdown problems may also be due to the terminal services in Windows XP. Some of the terminal services would include remote desktop, terminal server, fast user switching, etc. To close the terminal services, follow these steps:
(i) Click Start > Run
(ii) Type services.msc /s and click OK or hit Enter.
(iii) Double-click terminal services listing.
(iv) Change “Startup type” to Disabled or Manual.
(v) Click Ok.
Decrease the Wait Time of Windows:
Windows will wait for some time for a program to completely and properly stop all by itself. This can be a reason for slow shutdown. As we are going to deal with some registry steps, I would suggest you save a restore point before attempting these steps.
(i) Click Start > Run
(ii) Type regedit and click
(iii) Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
(iv) Double-click WaitToKillServiceTimeout
(v) Set a lower value. If the default is 2000, set it to 2.
(vi) Click OK
(vii) Reboot your system.
