have you tried a startup manager program?...here is a link to freeware startup mananger Version: 1.0.0.0:

http://fewbits.com/downloads/startmgr.zip

and here is the cab. file link

http://fewbits.com/downloads/startmgr.SPWM5.ARMV4I.CAB

this program will allow you easy access to those programs that run on startup and will allow you to remove those that you do not want to run on startup

It readds to windows/startup everytime it is started!

Have you tried my method of changing the target but not the filename?

I agree. I love Dashwire, but I had to revert to manual backups (and of course I always forget). If you don't, it just takes over the device at startup. I also tried removing it from the startup folder and it kept ending up right back in there at the next restart.

So if you don't want it running all the time and you don't want to sync manually, what do you want it to do?

Yeh i was going to say the same thing. The whole point of dashwire is to have it running all the time so your phone/computer will always be in sync

Well when I am not at my computer, there is no need for it to eat up my battery uploading every picture, text, or new contact. So I'd rather it just by completely in sync when I start the program, but not on every start up.

Try this. It works great...I can Sync and it kills it after disconnect. Love it. If you want it to work with Active Sync only

Doesn't quite solve the problem for Dashwire, but I guess it works for AS issues. However, I haven't heard any reports of AS issues with the TP

If I set it back to auto-sync it goes back into startup folder after I delete it. Grrrr

Um... How do you expect it to automatically do anything without starting up?

Personally.. I manually sync the things I need... and then I never have to worry about it autostarting.

Wiht the Auto Sync, it starts as soon as the Phone turns on and scans for changes as you make them. Then when it see's that you have an idle connection, it will auto sync.

How do you honestly think that this program with do anything automatically if you dont first allow it to start?
