I deleted files in temp,%temp%,prefetch folders.This is not enough to make PC fast.Now what should I do? Is there any such kind of software to clean up the disk?
First go to https://www.Piriform.com and download the free version of CCleaner. Install it and run it. However you must first go through their list of cookies and protect the ones that you want saved. You'll have to do that for about a week.
Then go to the following site: https://ninite.com. Use it to download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (the free version)and run it and. SUPERAntispyware (the free version), but be sure to click on only one of them before you click on the big green rectangle. Then don't install it, but uncheck the first one, check the second one and click on the big green rectangle. You will now have two files that look like this: Ninite "the program name).exe. Then double-click on one of them and let it run, thus installing the program while Ninite makes sure that no malware is installed. Then do the same for the other. Then run these programs. These will help you check to see if you have an infection of malware of any type. Next go to https://www.bleepingcomputer, download Rkill and jrt. When you try to download jrt you will be given a choice of using the Bleeping computer site or the "authors site". It doesn't matter which of them you use. Note: these program do not need to be installed - just run them. First run Rkill. Then run jrt which function at the DOS level. This is a slow program but an extremely efficient one. jrt stands for Junkware Removal Tool.
Next go back to Ninite and download Glary and have Ninite install it for you. Don't let them touch your registry, but have them clean your Hard Drive.
That should do it for you. Note - keep the Ninite installation files in their own folder. Ninite knows when an update occurs and if once a week you double-click on each of them it will install the update safely or tell you that you still have the current file.
Thought, XP Pro is now unsupported. There is probably an XP Pro forum on the Internet where you can ask questions. Still I would seriously consider updating to Windows 7 (if possible).
Press windows button and in the search type msconfig go to startup tab and uncheck those you dont want to start.

By following a few simple guidelines, you can maintain your computer and keep it running smoothly. This article discusses how to use the tools available in Windows 7, Vista, and http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#">XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to more efficiently maintain your computer and safeguard your privacy when you're online.
1. Free up disk spaceThe Disk Cleanup tool helps you free up space on your hard disk to improve the performance of your computer. The tool identifies files that you can safely delete, and then enables you to choose whether you want to delete some or all of the identified files.
Use Disk Cleanup to:
Remove temporary Internet files.
Remove downloaded program files (such as Microsoft ActiveX controls and Java applets).
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Remove Windows temporary files such as error reports.
Remove optional Windows components that you don't use.
Remove installed programs that you no longer use.
Remove unused restore points and shadow copies from System Restore.
Tip: Typically, temporary Internet files take the most amount of space because the browser caches each page you visit for faster access later.
To use Disk Cleanup
Window 7 users
Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, then click Disk Cleanup. If several drives are available, you might be prompted to specify which drive you want to clean.
When Disk Cleanup has calculated how much space you can free, in the Disk Cleanup for dialog box, scroll through the content of the Files to delete list.
