This does not work always. if so, you shoud do this:

1 Go to Start/Run and type โ€˜regeditโ€™. Hit the Enter key or click OK.

2 In the left hand registry editor window (the tree view) go to the following registry address:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSyncMgrHandlers

3 In there you should see a branch called: {08b0b2d5-3fb3-11d3-a4de-00c04f610189}

4 Right-click on the branch and select Delete from the context menu.

5 Restart your system and the icon should be gone.

Cheers!

I have a feeling my sync problems arose with new QuickBooks installation. I’ve been trying to shut this down or delete without success. Followed your procedure and all good until I got to last step and branch is not as you listed for Windows 7; mine reads ….
750fdf10-2a26-11d1-a3ea-080036587f03. Still delete? Please assist. Thanks much.

{08b0b2d5-3fb3-11d3-a4de-00c04f610189} = SQL Server Handler
{750fdf10-2a26-11d1-a3ea-080036587f03} = Offline Files Handler

It seems you have your Offline Files feature still enabled. If not it is okay to remove its handler manually through registry using the method I described.

And don’t worry the worst case scnario would be that Sync Center would no longer work nor start on logon which is what you want, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

According to MS, you can’t stop the Sync Center. Obviously it can be prevent ed though ๐Ÿ™‚
