Greg's replies in thread marked as helpful, but I thought I'll give you a short summary here:

1). Change the registry value of the process from 3 to 4 as described here:

2). If you notice that the value resets itself back to 3 (keep monitoring Task Manager if the process reappears and Registry if the value has changed) follow below instruction to "take the full ownership" of registry for this process.
