in a word yep.

and all those startup items are doing it too. as well as the startup stuff you don't see.

tuneup utilities will sort that for you. (google it)

also think about getting adaware or spybot s&d to get rid of other junk hiding on your system and slowing it down.

uninstall anything you don't use (through add/remove programs, or uninstall utils) and you might want to try a defrag after all that too.
