    Many of us stopped recommending a registry cleaner a long time ago. The risk of using a registry cleaner is far greater than any small benefit you might get.

    Defragging is NOT cleaning the registry- it's putting the file 'pieces' back in place. The Windows OS has a defragger, but you can use 3rd party one if wanted. The Windows OS is a bit on the 'messy' side and defragging helps that. The frequency depends on the usage.

    As for thinking cleaning the registry is the way to speed up the computer, it's not. The best way to do that is to control what starts on boot and good maintenance.
