NukAS: "Nuke" ActiveSync 4.1 From Syncing
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"Here is a desktop utility <500Kb in size I call NukAS, pronounced nook-ass for Nuke Active Sync. What exactly does it do? Well, you can instantly kill running ActiveSync processes (saves you from terminating the process using the Windows Task Manager) or re-establish connection using the green button without the need to restart your machine (desktop or device)."
ActiveSync 4.x has an annoying habit of reestablishing a connection, even if the sync has been stopped or the Pocket PC is off. This is a free little tool that lets you actually stop the sync and restart it when appropriate. (Not quite sure why Microsoft doesn't, you know, offer an exit option. Oh, wait. I guess that would make the "Close" button real, like all other desktop applications.)
