How to disable Mobsync.exe on window vista?

Detail question in How to disable Mobsync.exe on window vis ta?

i tried it all i think but a lot thats online right now only seems to work on XP not vista

well this is what i tried so far you tell me what to do know! here my list of failures lol...

i went to C:\Windows\system32 and took ownership of mobsync.exe file by right clicking and going under properties and clicking security tab and clicling owner tab and changing the owner to me

then trying to change the name of mobsync.exe so it would not run but no luck

then i tried to

use command prompt to do it by

running this code to take ownership

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\mobsync.exe

then this to give me full control

cacls C:\Windows\System32\mobsync.exe /G tommy:F

but no luck i just get a error message

then i read someone did in regedit but i tried but they were wrong or had a xp because it didnt match vista regedit at all here it was

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\… df3-10306abf19b2}
if you have a vista you will know there is no currentversion in vista regedit!!

well hope someone can help because this is overheating my laptop and i need it off or out thanks in advance

I'd ask that question in the proper forum:

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.
