How to turn off "Microsoft Office Upload Center" in Office 2010

Anonymous

As stated, I've recently installed office 2010 32-bit on Windows 7 UltSP1. Now I have an orange icon in the tray which highlights as "Microsoft office Upload Center" and I see no way to disable this "mini-app" Any ideas? I'm sure there must be a way.

I found out how. You can block its startup by unchecking it in msconfig> startup, the MSOSYNC entry, Also it can be blocked in a registry edit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Remove the "OfficeSyncProcess" DWord entry

Following a restart the system tray icon did not appear, nor do I see any process for it running. This issue has been discussed in some previous posts related to Office 2010 integration wiht sharepoint and SkyDrive, apparently. I had just not encountered it before having Office 2010 on a machine.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, this appears when you run MS SharePoint Workspace.
