As many of you know, the Zune software automatically sync your stuff. Even if you went into settings and click Let Me Choose for all categories, the Zune software will still DELETE music and videos on your Zune if you delete it on Zune Software. I found a great way to get around this and you do not need to connect as guest.

1.) Open up Zune Software, make sure you Zune is connected. Wait for the software to detect your Zune.

2.) Click Device -> Status, under the Zune image, there is a button called View Sync Groups. Click on it.

3.) you will be brought to a window with a lot of items. Delete them all! Basically this is the place where Zune Software say "oh, I have to match this item on the Software and the Zune." Don't worry, this won't have any affect on your media at. To delete them all fast, click on the first item, then scroll down to the last item, and Shift+click the last item to select all items. Then right click -> remove groups.

After this, your Zune Software will NOT match your Collection to your Zune Device, just like Guest Mode.

Hope you find this useful!.

Are you sure this works?
I'm pretty sure if you remove a sync group the software will delete it off your zune.
