Re: Activesync 4.2 Keeps starting Unwantedly with Media players

Hi,
Unfortunately, Microsoft has chosen to reinstall ActiveSync in to the
Startup each time it runs. So all I can suggest is to use an application
like Killsync from www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/

Which version of media player?

if wmp10, download and reinstall wmp10 and the behaviour will stop...
but with wmp11, that's a built in "feature" which can't be disabled ;-)
