On your left, click on Advanced System Settings
Click on the Advanced Tab
Under Performance, Click on Settings
Click on the first button that says Let Windows choose your settings
Click Apply and then OK

I run CCleaner every night, and I run Defraggler once a week.
Now Disk Clean Up I'm not familiar with...
Yes, I periodically turn off system restore so it will delete my old restore points.
