Need help getting rid of "mobsync.exe" starting on boot up.
I have removed it in both startup/system config utility, and in registery HKLM\software\ms\windows current ver\run but it returns on the next boot. I have even deleted it from Winnt/system32 folder but it is reinstalled when I reboot.
Found this with a quick Google search. Maybe it will help:
"mobsync.exe
Microsoft Mobile Synchronization Manager. One annoying programme you will find running in W2K/XP is mobsync.exe. This is because it is set by default to synchronise your home page at log-on. To stop this, run the programme "Synchronise" from your "Start/Programmes/Accessories Menu. Select setup, and uncheck the synchronisation options, then deselect the option to synchronise your home page. From explorer select Tools/Folder Options/Offline Files: deselect the "Enable Offline Files" option. When you reboot you will find the programme is no longer running by default. You can also remove optional components from your Windows 2000 installation that are not shown in the Add/Remove Programmes applet."
