From: Nathan Sokalski on 13 Feb 2010 19:15 When I logon to Windows 7, one of the things that happens automatically is Sync Center starts the process OUTLOOK.EXE *32 while synchronizing my mobile device. I definitely want the synchronization to happen when I logon, but I do not want the OUTLOOK.EXE *32 process to continue running after the synchronization is done. Is there some way that I can make the process automatically end either after the synchronization is complete or after a specified amount of time (maybe 15 minutes, since the synchronization is always done by then)? The reason I don't want the OUTLOOK.EXE *32 process to continue running is because when the process is running I receive unwanted Reminder dialogs from Outlook, and I don't want to need to open Task Manager every time I logon just to end the OUTLOOK.EXE *32 process. Does anyone know of a way to automatically end a process without manually opening Task Manager (perhaps using a Group Policy, Task Scheduler, or one of the Registry Keys)?
