You can definitely remove the Quicktime process...qttask. Right-click on it and choose End Process.
Google for others that you are not sure of. -
See that big button at the bottom right that says "End Process"
And if you select a process, and click that button, it does exactly what it says: ends the process. -

most processes will not just stop running by ending its process on task mgr.
you need to get a start-up manager program where you can manager what starts up when u reboot.
the above is the easiest to manage or you might have to either go into ech and every prog and unclick "start when windows starts" or go into your registry and delete specific 'run' and 'run once' registry keys
other than that i see a few redirect and monitor services (Svr) that u can disable as well as the mcproxy unless u surf via proxy server all the time. Also jusched is a java scheduler which doesnt need to be idling. -
I gather from what you have posted here that you actually don't just want the processes stopped but you want them to never load at all when windows starts up. Well that is simple and you don't need any extra third party software to do it (however you can if you prefer to use them) all you have to do is go to the start menu then to the run command and then type msconfig and hit enter.
Once the system configuration utility comes up stroll over to the startup tab and there you go. Start removing what you don't want to start with windows look at the location to determine which application the process belongs to. When it is done this way those processes that you have de-selected will never start when windows starts therefore you will not have to click end process. Then you can start any needed process manually as you need them. -
Either learn how to word your question correctly, or don't get pissy when people give you a broad answer. How are we supposed to know what you want if you don't actually write it? Are we supposed to guess what you want and give you the answers? -

There are about a million different things programs can do to get themselves started when you start Windows. Usually I'll check the Start menu's Startup folder first, program specific settings second, and msconfig from run on the start menu third.
Beyond that, I've never had anything bother me enough to be worth the effort. -
Try using msconfig to get rid of non-essential stuff popping up at start up.
Click on the Windows icon and click "Run." Type "msconfig" into the window, no quotation marks. A thing will pop up.
Here's a good article to get you started if you don't know what to disable or what to do:

Generally, I find it a good idea to leave General, System.ini, Win.ini, or Boot.ini alone. For my computer, in Services, I've disabled everything except for stuff by "Microsoft Corporation" or "Toshiba," because some things, like battery saver, appear under "services" and you don't want to get rid of those.
"Startup" displays all the programs that will open up at start up. For instance, AIM might be selected, or Norton Antivirus might be selected. To speed up your boot time you can deselect these programs.
The best part about deselecting things from "Start Up" is that it won't screw up your computer. The things that are listed in "Start Up" usually appear at the bottom right of your screen, in the taskbar. Say for instance you want to use Norton. You don't have to wait for it to slowly load up during boot up. You can have a fast boot, and then when you want to use Norton, just click the Norton icon. It will automatically load and save to the taskbar. This way you speed up your bootup and you don't have excess programs dragging you down.
