How do I stop Activesync.....

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

.....from always popping up? It's there on the desktop when I start
up Windows. I minimise it. I plug in the iPaq, there is Activesync
so I minimise it. Oh look! It's sync'd....so there is the window
again.

Is there anay way to minimise it totally so that it only pops up
if/when there's something that needs attention? It does a fairly
decent job of sync'ing in the background, so why can't it manage
to stay in the background?

That did it! Sometimes they are so obvious. Now, how do I stop
it making a system beep when it connects or disconnects?

Already done this. And on the desktop I have used the Control Panel to
make sure that the desktop plays no sounds on connection. This is okay
but I now get a 'system beep' - you know the sound that doesn't come
from the speakers/soundcard, but from the buzzer/speaker on the mother
board?

Lateral thinking there...recorded a two second .wav file and put in
in c:\windows\media and then selected it as the sound to be played
on connection and disconnection and now all is quiet. Many thanks.
