How to disable AS in one user but not the other?
Posted by Livin on January 31st, 2006


I have WinXP Pro and share it with my fiance.

She has a PocketPC, I do not.

When it is docked, often the ActiveSync will try to establish a partnership
with my account... of course I do not want this.

I have tried deleting the EXE from launching in my profile but it
"reappears" automagically.

How do I stop this?

Is this another thing that MS did not consider with this half-baked app?

(sorry for the frustration but AS lacks a lot to be desired!)

It resides in memory, automatically loaded at start up. Run something like
killsync to shut it down.

While killsync worked with 3.x, I'm having a hell of a time with 4.x...
it's constantly reappearing even with no device attached.

Here's the batch file I use to "kill it" but even then, it normaly takes
two attempts.


rem ...
taskkill /IM WCESCOMM.EXE
taskkill /IM rapimgr.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe /s C:\AWk\WCES.reg
EXIT
rem ...

====WCES.reg contains;========

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run]
"H/PC Connection Agent"=""

You could try activesync toggle - http://micrologics.co.uk/library/ast/

The latest version has command line support so you should be able to
put something in your start up to automate it when you log in.
