OpenOffice = FAIL. It lacks a lot of features offered by Microsoft Office and its UI is crap.

Create a new text document. Copy and paste this command into it:
“C:\Windows\System32\taskkill /IM msosync.exe /F”
Save the file and rename it to KillOfficeUpload.bat
Place it at the root of your C: partition
Open GPEDIT.MSC from the command prompt
Go to User Config > Windows Settings > Logon
Select the KillOfficeUpload.bat script.
Every time you logon it will kill Office Upload.

Thank you for the help, unfortunately I don’t find an entry for MS Office 2010 in my configuration file. In fact the only MS products are for the OS. I’m running Win Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP2. Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately, as soon as i add a new document in sharepoint 2010 this process starts up again, and implants itself right back into the msconfig startup list…

Once you have disabled from System Configuration startup tab, restart your computer and you won’t find it running.

Disabling the icon doesn’t stop the process though, so it’s still running in the background.

I’d rather have the icon so at least I know if it’s running without having to check Task Manager.

If I didn't like Outlook so much, I would dump office all together and just user open office.

Yep, I skimmed right over this a few times trying to find an option to close it. Thanks!
