trying p2pool soon p2pool windows setup

Even though I like pool mining here http://lnk.co/IF46G this is an experiment and I want to try other things.
So next I will try out this p2pool thing.

Here is a guide for P2Pool mining on Windows 7.
1. Download Bitcoin - http://rdlnk.co/KVLP1
2. Download P2Pool - http://rdlnk.co/KVLP2
3. Download cgminer - http://rdlnk.co/KVLP3
4. Install Bitcoin. Start Bitcoin
5. a. Go into Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options > View > uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types'" (or leave it unchecked if it already is).
b. While you are there choose: Show hidden files, folders, and drives. (or leave it selected)
c. Click OK.
6. Browse to C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin. (YourUserName will be whatever you entered when you installed windows.)
7. Right click in the folder and choose: New > Text Document. Delete the entire name (including .txt) and type the following: bitcoin.conf (hit enter, then click yes)
8. a. Right click on the bitcoin.conf file and choose edit.
b. If edit is not available, choose open. Then choose: Select a program from a list of installed programs. Click OK. Double click Notepad.
c. i. Once you have the file open and ready to edit type:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
server=1
d. Click file in the top left corner and choose save.
e. After doing this, close and restart Bitcoin.
9. Forward port 9333. (Optional, helps with finding additional peers.)
10. Extract p2pool from p2pool_0.8.1_c7feb00.zip. (Desktop is a great place to extract this folder.)
11. a. Open the p2pool folder, right click run_p2pool.exe and select create shortcut.
b. Right click the new shortcut and choose properties. Click in the "target" box and move the cursor to the far right. Put a space after run_p2pool.exe and type: user password
c. Click OK.
12. Double click the p2pool short cut. This will start P2Pool. Let it run. (If windows asks you to Allow Access, choose yes)
13. Extract cgminer from cgminer-2.1.2-win32.zip. (Desktop is a great place to extract this folder.)
14. a. Open the cgminer folder, right click cgminer.exe and select create shortcut.
b. Right click the new shortcut and choose properties. Click in the "target" box and move the cursor to the far right. Put a space after cgminer.exe and type: -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -u userv -p password to match what you put in bitcoin.conf
c. Click OK.
15. Double click the cgminer shortcut. This will start cgminer.
You are now mining on the p2pool.
