How to disable Microsoft Upload Center 2013 ?

Hi,

I uninstalled office 2010 and installed Office 2013. However now there is no way to stop upload centre from starting upon startup. There are no values for it under the startup tab in task manager or the registry startup sections. Strangely enough the old value for office 2010 MSOsync was left behind but I removed it.

How can I stop it from running like in Office 2010 ?

Thanks

    Do you have SkyDrive desktop app installed? If so, it will have become integrated with this Upload Center. To disable SkyDrive for use with Office 2013, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the SkyDrive icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. (You might need to click Show hidden icons first to see the icon.) Then click Settings.
    • On the Settings tab, under General, deselect Use Office to sync files faster and work on files with other people at the same time, and then click OK.

    Thanks so much! Really helped.

    I don't understand why Microsoft Office Upload Center and Microsoft Skydrive Desktop App work so badly together.

    As I'm already saving my files to the skydrive folder I don't need another app trying to take over, cause conflicts, try to save a local cache copy in another hidden system folder and then eventually present me a different screen to upload files to skydrive.

    I already have the skydrive desktop app, it sits rather nicely in the taskbar, doesn't bug me with messages and uploads my files swiftly.

    Office upload center - no thanks.

    Install Ccleaner and

    tools>startup>scheduled tasks

    you see office app.

    You can disable it or completely delete...

    thats all...

    Thank you so much. I install office 2013 and Microsoft make decisions for me! WHY????

    I to use office with Skydrive between my laptop on win8 and my desktop on Win7, and Bl#$y uploader would not get out of the way nad until I saw your antidote could do nothing about it.

    Once again thanks

    On Windows 8.1 you can try:

    left bottom, right click then "Computer manager"

    then "System Utility" and find "Scheduler task".

    Under Microsoft item, you 'd see "Office" and in this list eliminate the tasks of Office.
