CCleaner, Defragmenting is always good too. As is installing and using Common Sense 2010 Beta to keep the machine infection free (if all else fails, grab some free AV).

I do maintenance every Monday morning before I start using my computer.

I run Disk Cleanup update SpywareBlaster if needed and although MalwareBytes runs in real time I do a quick scan of it as well as a scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Defrag is scheduled to run every Monday teatime when I'm not using the machine. I don't have things not needed running at start up and of course practise Safe Hex.;)

I suggest that you do not include the procedure for registry cleaner as part of your routine.

+1 a slightly 'dirty' registry is 10000000% better than a clean broken one.

as many others do, i clean out my temp folder every now and then, and defrag - especially before installing 'big' software.

i also do a full system scan with kaspersky before i go out, or at night, as it can take a while, especially with a big hard drive containing many thousands of files.
