Now the only files on the PC are the ones my son actually wants and uses.

I prefer the Smart restore, Boot the laptop push F11 or whatever then sit back,relax while you machine sorts itself out.
The only gripe i had was that if you select the option to create a cd set it wipes the hidden partition.....
OP:
I would click start,Run and run MSCONFIG
Select the last option Startup.
Uncheck everything that you do not need.
Reboot
If it is still slow then i would use the restore cd
