Can I stop Zune software from autostarting?

[dmylrea]

I leave my Zune in the dock, and my computer goes to sleep when not in use.

I'm finding it very annoying that everytime I wake my computer, the Zune software starts up because Vista is finding the Zune hardware connected.

I thought there was an option in the Zune software to turn this off, but I couldn't find it.

Anyone know how to stop this behavior (other than the obvious, like, taking the Zune out of the dock!).

Thanks (and sorry if this has been asked a million times...)!!!!!

it's not a big problem if it's been asked before... but yeah to answer your question you can keep this from happening.

Don't bother turning autosync off... that wont fix the problem.

there's another option to run to zune software when device is detected... turn that off and your problem should be fixed.

Yes, do this:

-Open Zune Marketplace
-Click the sync button (the little icon at the upper right that looks like arrows in a circle)
-Below that, you should see "Sync Options" Click on the drop down menu
-Uncheck "Open Zune when Device Connects"

Now Zune Marketplace won't open automatically when you connect your Zune.

Hope that helps...

Or just end the task and delete zunelauncher.exe if you want...
