you should run a disk defrag once a month
set your antivirus/spyware to do a system scan everyday at a time you wont be on the pc like late at night.
registry cleaners i would stay away from the free ones they usually cause more problems then they fix.
set up your automatic updates in control panel or make sure you go here at least once a week(its mcuh easier to have this automated) http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
