At very old PC's I prefer Windows NT 4, because NT (XP, Vista, Windows 7 are NT family too) is more secure than 9x (Win 98 and Win Me).
You could run programs with restricted rights ("runas" with any non-admin account) and make access control lists to files at NT systems, so even if you will run bad software, it will not hurt you much.

you could download a registry cleaner or registry optimizer like Ccleaner, Ashampoo, and so on
