On new computers, I set the minimum and maximum page file size to the recommended size, usually 1.5 times the RAM. This eliminates page file fragmentation. On computers that have been running for sometime, remove the page file by specifying none. Reboot the computer and run the Windows XP/2000 Defrag utlility a few times until most fragmentation is gone. recreate the page file to the specified size. Another useful utility to locate and disable or remove unwanted programs is Microsoft's SysInternals utility called Autoruns. You may disable items in the startup and enable them later if you find that they are essential or casuse other operational issues. That's my 2 cents.
