Disable mobsync.exe on Windows Vista
13 10 2008What is it?
mobsync.exe belongs to Internet Explorer. It synchronize offline web pages, and edited offline documents, calendars, and email messages.
Why disable it?
I found it to be CPU consuming and a non-essential, so disabling it was a necessity.
How do I disable it?
1. Disable Offline Files (Control Panel > Offline Files.
2. Open the Registry Editor (Run > regedit) and navigate to the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers\{b44aec44-38f4-4b59-8 df3-10306abf19b2}
3. Change the Enabled key from ‘1′ to ‘0′.
4. Reboot.
That’s it! mobsync.exe should no longer run again on startup.
