It surely won't ever beat FreeBSD, but if you don't already do that, you could backup many things you need (e.g. "quick launch" icons) instead of recreating them every time. Even Windows customizations and software settings can be backed up (if you can find them!) using the regedit utility (File > Export).
This can save you a lot of time.

3 years, wow! You don't use it much, or at least you don't install/uninstall a lot?
