Back up registry before doing this.
run regedit and open folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Microsoft, CurrentVersion, Run and look for the names of applications running there. Delete only the keys that you know for sure are the programs you want to get rid of.

You can also check the same key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER
