Suggest Program to view and modify Startup & Process list

[confused]

hi guys,
i noticed that my dad's laptop has nearly 95+ processes running. Also its quite sluggish most of the times. So I installed Spybot and deleted most of the unwanted stuff from the startup list. Still on rebooting the no of processes is 70+.

Its running on Vista Home Premium, and specs are c2d 1.6Ghz proccy, geforce 8400m gt gpu, 1GB ram.

Please suggest some other programs for trimmimg the startup as well as process lists......

Thanks for reading
