This is normal, the memory is being used by SuperFetch which is a feature introduced in Vista to help boost system performance by pre-loading certain applications most used by the user. This is done by loading programs from RAM than from the harddrive, which is a lot faster.

Over time as you use the computer SuperFetch will use less memory as it recognizes your tendencies.
