Preventing Windows Mobile Device Center Popup

[Flapjack]

Does anyone know how to keep Windows Mobile Device Center from popping up everytime? I do not use USB sync, as I'm using DirectPush for Exchange mail. I also rarely have to do anything to the device other than charge it, or use MyMobile to send/receive texts.

I had this same problem with ActiveSync, only that actually brought up the synchronization wizard every time. This is a little better, but I don't want to see that window at all. In my office, I leave the phone on USB so I can use MyMobiler, but I frequently pull it off the cable when I leave the office for something. As an IT guy, I don't get to sit around for too long...

I was able to fix this. First, I stopped and disabled both WMDC services under Computer Management > Services. Then, I found mobsync.exe in the Windows/System32 folder, went into "Permissions" for it, took ownership, then removed all the accounts except the "Everyone" permissions. For Everyone, I set it to "Deny All".

I now have no WMDC or sync stuff popping up. It's great. I can still browse the phone from My Computer > TYTN II. I can also still use MyMobiler to control the phone from Windows, so this doesn't kill the USB connection at all.

Hope this helps someone.
