Do anti-virus/malware scans from safe mode.
If you know the runtime program delaying the boot, disable it from msconfig in safe mode. Hit ctrl+alt+del in Normal mode and go to task manager (make sure "show processes from all users" is clicked) sort by CPU usage and see what is eating up the most resources. You can also disable indexing (used for fast file searching). Clean up your temp folders. Delete pagefile.sys. (it will rebuild on your next boot but goes corrupt once in a while)
