Laptop In Need Of Spring Cleaning

How to fix my my computer along to speed it up - it's super slow! I've had this laptop for a while now and I realize it is significantly slower now than originally. I feel it is "clogged" it up with junk. I need to do something to bring it back to where it was when I got it. Right now, it takes a long time to start up, open folders (ie: my computer, my pictures, etc), and programs (esp firefox or explorer)

Here is the laptop info and hijackthis log:

Averatic 3250 laptop - AMD Athelon XP-M (LV) 2200+
1.66 GHz, 480 MB RAM
XP Home edition V. 2002 (sp2)
