How long has it been? It can take several days and 3 or 4 reboots for
it to speed up. First defrag. The boot prefetch will kick in after the
3 rd reboot. It takes several days for the prefetch folder to be
rebuilt. And the in built optimization kicks in every 3 days. After
that defrag again.

If you're still having problems with it being slow opening My Computer
or folders after that run both edits on line 157 of this site:

Prevent Automatic Folder and Icon Refresh
Prevent Delay Opening My Computer/Explorer

Try reinstalling the drivers for your video card or monitor
