As you probably noticed in My guid you have to eliminate these processes from control panel then go into ''Admin tools'' then select ''Services'' and from there disable the services listed in the guid.

You can then go to the applications tab and turn off whatever programs you don't want to start up with windows.
That is also another good method but is only for third party progrma processes and not windows processes which my guid talks about.

Well the othther runnig processes will be either windows essential processe or your third party software..Also some windows updates can creat processes. When your disabling the processes i hope you are stopping them then in the tab selecting disable then apply.
