My Computer
Ok so i have had this beast for a while and it tends to get slow really easy (only used up 20gb of a 160gb HD). I do this quite often and it tends to quicken the bugger up by a lot:
-1) Use Clean up to delete all temp files
1)- Delete unwanted programmes using Add or Remove Programmes
2)- Disk Cleanup
3)- Disk Defrag
4)- Scan for Viruses
5)- Scan for Spyware
Anyone know of any other things that i have missed off?

How about getting yourself a decent Registry Scanner.. Like this one http://www.registry-cleaner.net/
Do you delete your Internet Cookies?
I use to use TweakXP and it had loads of other options for cleaning and boosting your computer, There's a free trial copy of it here
http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakutility/
Not sure what else!

ccleaner - it will remove hundreds of mb of un-necessary temporary files.
xplite - remove half of windows to cut out all the microsoft crap you never use

also type msconfig into the run bit in your start menu and check startup and see whats starting when you turn your pc, you'd be amazed at how much shit kicks in that doesnt need to, i have 5 things starting at startup and the pc fires up so quick and stays quick cos these programs arent running without me knowing it and hence slowing it down

I highly suggest a look at Registry Mechanic. There is a demo at download.com. It really cleans out of the reg and has a few tweaks for the reg too. All in all very good stuff. Thats really the only thing you are missing.

Registry mechanic will do the business, need the full version really thou. What spec is your PC, that will help work out what the prob mite be. Also viruses/spyware can slow down a pc so run a check.
