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
Mobsync is a Microsoft owned tool which enforces group policy for removable mass-storage devices.Microsoft decided not to include the "Offline Files" control panel in Vista Premium.It is only available in Business and Ultimate.It maybe all version has mobsync.exe but I never see offline files on Other Vista than Vista Ultimate. As example if you go to services on Vista Home Premium there aren't any Service for Offline files, same for Home Basic.
