Office 2010 Beta

[epic]

Just installed it... a bit annoyed with the installation process. The current system I had running only Outlook, Excel, Word and Powerpoint and with doing a flat out "Upgrade" it had installed the entire application base. Really, if one were to chose "Upgrade" it should relatively upgrade only the installed applications.

Anyhow, I'm having some difficulty locating how I can remove the "Shared Folder Synchronization" ... I do not have share point services installed, nor the little tid bit options, so why would I need such an option?!!

Located the necessary registry keys. I still can't see why Microsoft hasn't fixed this very annoying issue. Still, I noticed a heap load of services and registry entries for the collaboration "Microsoft Groove" service... which is NOT installed nor specified to have installed after installing Office 2010.

Search has been done on Windows 7. Results may vary on previous systems.

Hi epic!

Your problem is similar to mined, but i got it fixed anyway.

I used Shell Extension Manager to get it fixed

Download it here http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview_setup.exe

Just disable "Groove GFS Context Menu Handler" by right clicking and ticking disable or press F8
