The standard set numbers 146 fonts on a Pan-European version of ME. If YOU have been 
adding fonts then you should go to control panel, Fonts and remove them there. Those 
marked with RED are SYSTEM fonts and must NOT be removed. Highlight  the font you 
wish to remove, then click file, delete. 

A registry full of old keys WILL slow boot-up very badly. So FIRST of all go to Start, 
Run and type: scanreg /fix /opt in the window and click OK.

To really see what is going on invest in Norton Utilities 2002 and use WinDoctor 
and System Doctor to clean up system files. DiskDoctor is a better application than 
ScanDisk in ... many ... respects but NOT in ALL of them. SpeedDisk is very handy 
for optimising swap-files and for moving large Archive files to the front of the 
disk so they do not ALWAYS have to be defragmented.
