Good XP/Vista Optimizers?

I've been working on computers for a while now, just small stuff, anti virus, tweaks, general maintenance for friends and people i meet. Through this, i've started a small list of programs and reg tweaks i like, but i know there is a lot more. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to what they use or like. I put a quick list of things i use together, they include the following:

AVG anti virus

Spybot S&D

Regscrub

Defraggler

Autostart

TuneXP

TweakUI

Revo Uninstaller

Sys Properties>Performance>Visual Effects

Comodo Firewall

HiJackThis free

The built in "disk clean" option under My Computer

Random Group of Registry tweaks I kinda put together

Any advice is appreciated. They can be programs or reg tweaks. I prefer freeware, but i am willing to pay if they are really good.

Thanks

    Don't forget CCleaner - Advanced WindowsCare Personal is also nice.

    CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. CCleaner also fixes your registry. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware.
