U can use Spybot Search and Destroy, too, to allow registry modifications or not.

Diskeeper 2008 is an awesome defragmenter. Defrags on the fly. Better than any other defrager I've tried. It even allows Boot time defragmentation of the paging file and MFT which most sw doesn't even defrag.
Diskeeper 2008 Link
Everybody likes what they like and everybody has their own opinion about which sw works best. These are the two utilities I've been using for a long time.
I use ZA Security Suite for an all in one Firewall, Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware to complete the package.
Good luck and hope this helps.
Cheers, f

Usually when I'm looking for a piece of software I check one site that I've come to like, Major Geeks, here's a link WWW Link.
Nice to the point evaluations with download links. If you haven't been there before take some time and look around. Lots of usefull information.

Both apps have free 30 day trials.
I've had both programs for about nine months now and I would not be without them. My rigs are lean, mean, fighting machines and are so fast and responsive.....all due to these two 'diamond' apps

I absolutely agree with Leo. Not only does Tuneup Utilities clean your registry, it also has an application which Defragments the registry as well.
So let's say you've installed a Windows Service Pack and your registry has become so bloated, that it has to read from a second page before your system boots. Tuneup Utilities Registry Defrag will condense your registry back to a single page.
I'm not too sure of any other application that can do this type of aggressive maintenance.
One word of advice. Stay away from the "One-Click" Maintenance, instead run the apps independently.
Hope this help;

Never heard of them nor would I use them.
I'd stick to popular choices because people have tried and tested them and can recommend them. Registry cleaners can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Most of the popular ones have been mentioned by the guys on this thread so take your pick
