Best way to speed up computers is to increase the amount of RAm you have

Unless the hard drive is nearly full (say only 300Mb left) then removing unused programs will have only a very tiny effect on speed (if any). I know that it often gets listed under "things to do to speed up your PC" but I have been an expert user for quite a few years (since 1992) and have *never* seen any noticeble speed increase from doing this.
So- I know that is not answering your question - but just to warn you that you might spend a long time working this one out only to find it didn't give you what you wanted.
You would get more of a speed increase by defragging the hard drive.(but still not much)

instead of using a laptop try using a windows 98, they are much better in my opinion.
