Slow home computer - how can i speed it back up?

OK so I have a 1.7ghz p4 win XP at home that i've had for about 3-4 years. I'm not ready to step up yet, but recently my computer has been getting really, really slow. I tried all the regular items: disk defragment, disk cleanup utility, removed all unused programs, ran Adaware, Spybot, and the *new* Microsoft Spyware Remover, as well as AVG antivirus, and cleaned everything up that way, all those tests come out clean. Deleted all temporary files, moved all my music / photos to my d: drive which has 60 gigs and is only about 20% full. My c: drive has a capacity of 15 gigs and has about 10 on it right now, give or take.
I don't know what else to do. I also tried some freeware registry mechanic. Still, it just putts along. It used to be MUCH faster. LIke really quick. When I click on internet explorer now, it must take at least 30 seconds to load up. I often get freezes and have to ctrl-alt-delete my way out of things.
Any ideas? TIA
