The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK
Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.
Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.
goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions
goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.
Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.
Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.
Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.
Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.
Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:
dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories
Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

Most likely, the fan is running as fast as you are going to want to push it. Setting it faster will only shorten the life of the fan dramatically.
There are a few programs that will step down the voltage on the system fans as long as they are plugged into the motherboard and as long as they have a 3-pin connection. If they do not have the 3rd pin there is no way for the motherboard to retrieve the speed the fan is currently spinning at.
Most of the time, these programs are motherboard-specific, meaning that it needs to be installed on a particular brand of MOBO. Even then, there is only so much you can do to adjust the speed of the fan.
Your best bet would be to simply buy a fan controller panel for your computer. These panels fit in the CD-ROM bay of your computer and have knobs for adjusting the speed of your fans. They also come with temperature displays, which are very handy.
Check out newegg.com for some good ones.

Start>control panel>my computer>properties>advanced> performance> advanced>virtual memory> change this to a higher number than it's currently set to.
Thought your Q said run faster, not make the fan faster! Whoops.

To start with the fan has to have a variable speed motor. Then speed can be changed using bios or programs.

have you checked to see if the fan is clean!!! it can suck in a lot of dust and if it gets clogged up it can slow down and even seize up all together.my partner is a computer engineer and we had the same problem with the fan in our laptop.as soon as we unclogged it then the fan worked fine.

There are two states of a computer fan,
On, or Off

A fan is going to turn at the same rate all of the time, so no there is no way to adjust the speed.
