Open "Services" from Administrative Tools. You might need to enable this menu by right clicking on start menu area.
Sort columns by status. Stop services like print spooling, Help and support, messanger, etc that you feel you dont need.
Change these processes from "Automatic" to "Manual" and stop them.
