I can't move the thread there - perhaps one of the powers that be can.

However - you have 2 options.

It appears in the Windows Startup list (msconfig). You can't switch off it via msconfig, altough you can uncheck it, but after restarting of Windows, it appears again. To switch off mobsync.exe do the following steps:

Double click on "My Computer", choose "Tools" from the main menubar then select "Folder Options...", then select "Offline Files" pane and finally uncheck "Enable offline files".

I don't have a vista machine handy - so that may not work on vista. Win7 doesn't use the same process just so ya know.

The performance hit is very minor - so its not an issue to leave it on. If its not there - check services for offline files and see if it is what runs it.
